6. CHORISTOMA – have normal tissue, but not in normal place (ie. NEOPLASIA I endometriosis) Nomenclature – For Benign heterotopic rest of normal tissue Introduction Characteristics BENIGN MALIGNANT nd st 2 leading cause of death in the US (1 = CVD) 1. MESENCHYMAL – organs lined with mesothelium Decreased mortality in the last decade of the 20th century and Attach the suffix “oma” to the cell of origin – Osteoma - bone Differentiation and Well differentiated Well to poorly/ in a downward course anaplasia undifferentiated/ – Chondroma - cartilagenous – Fibroma – fibrous tissue anaplastic Nomenclature Rate of growth Indolent/slow Rapid, erratic pace *Neoplasma = tumor – Lipoma lipid tissue (not fat/ adipose) growing/expansile- Neoplasia - new growth capsule Tumor - swelling 2. EPITHELIAL Oncology – study of tumors or neoplasms Attach the suffix “oma” to the cell of origin, microscopic pattern or macroscopic architecture Local invasion Absent Present-progressive NEOPLASM infiltration/destruction – Adenoma – glandular; forming glands Abnormal mass of tissue of Growth exceeds and uncoordinated with that of the normal – Papillomas – finger-like projections – Polyp – protrudes from the surface of the organs surrounding/adjacent tissue tissue Persists in the same manner after the cessation of stimuli – Cystadenomas, papillary cystadenomas Exception: Hepatoma, Lymphoma, Seminoma, Melanoma, which evoked the change Metastasis Absent Present Mesothelioma-malignant (found in pleura) Autonomous Clonal-arise from single cell that incurred genetic damage *all “-oma” are malignant BENIGN Nomenclature – Malignant 1. CARCINOMA-from epithelial Differentiation & Anaplasia Relatively innocent Adenocarcinoma DIFFERENTIATION Remain localized Squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma Extent to which neoplastic parenchymal cells resemble the Cannot spread to other sites corresponding normal parenchymal cells both Amenable to surgical removal 2. SARCOMA-from mesenchymal morphologically and functionally Patient generally survives liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma ANAPLASIA – poorly differentiated MALIGNANT fibrosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, angiosarcoma, lack/loss of differentiation, associated with other morphologic Cancer rhabdomyosarcoma changes Invade and destroy adjacent structures Spread to distant sites Cause death 3. MIXED TUMOR Changes in Anaplasia Divergent differentiation of a single neoplastic clone 1. PLEOMORPHISM – hallmark ok neoplasia 2 BASIC COMPONENTS Pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland (parotid) Variation in size and shape – ex.big/small cells 2. ABNORMAL NUCLEAR MORPHOLOGY 1. parenchyma-clonal neoplastic cells 4. TERATOMA – from testis, embryo, ovarian increased N:C ratio (1:6è1:1) determines tumor’s behavior and pathologic totipotential cell that differentiate along 3 germ cell layer – hyperchromatic, large nucleoli consequences totipotent means it can make a whole body/anything 3. MITOSES – mitosis is normale in labile cells 2. stroma supporting tissues; tells how fast will grow benign (mature) or malignant (immature) increased, atypical, bizarre growth & evolution-blood supply 4. LOSS OF POLARITY connective tissue-framework 5. HAMARTOMAS – not necessary a neoplasia, it does not grow bigger disturbed orientation – Scant-soft and fleshy ex. Lymphoma, Fibrosarcoma disorganized but benign appearing masses composed of 5. TUMOR GIANT CELLS – NOT macrophages (ie. Langhan cells in mature specialized cells or tissue indigenous to the particular TB) – Abundant-desmoplasia (excessive stroma), site Not macrophages stony hard ex. Scirrhous CA of breast pulmonary chondroid hamartoma, hemangioma 6. DYSPLASIA – if severe dysplasia, it is already equal in carcinoma in situ (lesions confined in basement/noninvasive) loss in uniformity & architectural orientation of the cells Prepared by: EGBautistaII disordered growth, often occurs in metaplastic – More aggressive, more rapidly growing, larger size- – Women: significant decline in death rates from epithelium greater likelihood of metastasis cancer of breast & colorectal CA & most notably 7. METASTASIS – Approximately 30% of newly diagnosed individuals cervix-earlier diagnosis –Pap smear tumor implants discontinuous with the primary tumor with solid tumors present with metastasis – Men: nearly 80% of the total decrease in lung, Rate of Growth – something to do w/stroma, needs blood supply prostate & colorectal CA 1. Doubling time of tumor cells – multiplication time remains the same (3) Pathways of Spread – Cell cycle time not shortened – time it takes to Seeding of body cavities & surfaces divide – Carcinomas arising from the ovaries Pseudomyxoma Geographic & Environmental Factors 2. Fraction of tumor cell in the replicative pool peritonei, appendiceal CA Environmental > hereditary – Growth fraction – affects the G0 (ie. Stable cells) Lymphatics – carcinoma Cultural > racial low in breast & colon, high in some – Skip metastasis – coz’ the passageway is obstructed Environmental factors leukemia, lymphoma & small cell CA – Sentinal nodes – Home - Outdoors Correlate with level of differentiation Hematogenous – sarcoma – most common route – Work - Medication Hormonal stimulation, adequacy of blood – Veins>arteries *Look at table 7-3 supply, etc – Organ area for metastasis (liver & lung) = need to Most overweight individuals have a higher death rate from CA 3. Rate at which cells are shed or die check fist Alcohol abuse-increase the risk for oropharynx, larynx, Transplantation – rare esophagus, liver CANCER STEM CELLS & CANCER CELL LINEAGES – If undergo surgery = it will spread because same Smoking-mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, Cancer could arise from scalpel is used in making cuts bladder, kidney – normal tissue stem cells or Risk of cervical CA: age of first intercourse, number of sex – More differentiated cells that acquire the property Epidemiology partners-HPV of self-renewal Study of cancer patterns CML- from stem cells Contributes substantially to knowledge about origins of Age AML- differentiated myeloid precursors cancer Most CA occur in later years of life >55yrs Tumor initiating cells (T-ICs) Provides major insights on the cause of cancer Main cause of death among women aged 40-79 and men – Allow cells to grow indefinitely – environmental, racial (hereditary) & cultural aged 60-79 ….carcinomas – May represent 25% of the total cellularity influences Acute leukemia & neoplasm of the CNS-approx 60% of deaths Cancer incidence in children Local Invasion Male Female Common neoplasms of infancy & childhood-small round blue Most benign tumors develop a rim of compressed connective – 1.

Ability to invade and metastasize – colon CA, small int., endometrium, ovary Molecular Basis of Cancer – most common cancer predisposition syndrome FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES 1. Nonlethal genetic damage lies in the heart of carcinogenesis 3. Familial Cancers – mutation may be acquired-action of environmental Breast, ovary, pancreas, …..colon, brain, melanomas, agents: chemicals, radiation, viruses lymphomas – inherited in the germ line Characteristic features – if cells died, there will be no replication & thus, it – early age at onset - AR must not be lethal – tumors arising in 2 or more close relatives 2. Tumor is formed by the clonal expansion of single precursor – Multiple or bilateral tumors cell that has incurred the genetic damage Transmission pattern of familial cancers is not clear – Tumors are monoclonal – Cells that gone crazy Interactions Genetic & Nongenetic Factors 3. Four classes of normal regulatory genes are the principal Complex target of genetic damage Genotype can significantly influence the likelihood of – Protooncogenes-growth promoting developing environmentally induced cancers – Tumor suppressor gene-growth inhibiting – Genes that regulate apoptosis Prepared by: EGBautistaII SELF SUFFICIENCY IN GROWTH SIGNALS – kinase is transiently activated by binding of the Can act in concert to reprogram somatic cells into ONCOGENES - Genes that promote autonomous growth specific GF, followed rapidly by receptor pluripotent stem cells PROTONCOGENES - Normal cellular counterpart dimerization & tyrosine phosphorylation of several May also enhance self-renewal, block differentiation or ONCOPROTEINS - Products of genes without regulatory substrate that are part of signaling cascade both function Oncogenic/mutant receptors Amplified in breast, colon, lung and many other *Proto-oncogenes oncogene secretes oncoproteins – associated with constitutive dimerization & carcinomas activation without binding to the GF, deliver N-MYC & L-MYC in neuroblastomas & small cell CA of continuous mitogenic signals to the cell even in the lungs respectively absence of GF in the environment Translocation-Burkitts lymphoma Can be constitutively activated in tumors by different STEPS IN CELL PROLIFERATION mechanisms CYCLINS Binding of growth factor to cell membrane receptor – Mutations Activation of signal transducing proteins – gene rearrangements Transmission of signal to nucleus – overexpression Activation of nuclear factors Ex.

HIV 7. Acanthosis Nigricans – hyperpigmentation of the skin through the stomach wall, there is some spread to local lymph nodes, Antigen masking but no metastases in other parts of the body". Apoptosis of cytotoxic T cells 8. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (from bronchogenic) *Cancers more common in immunocompromised – New bone formation Laboratory Diagnosis – Arthritis 1. Histologic & cytologic methods Clinical Features of Tumors – Clubbing – Biopsy, needle aspiration (FNAB) & cytologic smears Effects of Tumors on the Host 9.

Flow cytometry – give 3D view endocrinopathies ie hypofunction Staging is based on size of primary lesion, extent of regional – Individual cell characteristics Obstruction & intussuception lymph nodes, & presence or absence of blood borne 4. Molecular diagnosis – FISH & PCR, to look for cancer genes Fatal hypoglycemia-Beta cell adenoma metastasis. – Diagnosis Hematuria-renal – 2 staging system: UICC (TNM) & AJCC – Prognosis Melena-GIT – Detection of residual disease * Stage more clinically significant than grade – Hereditary disposition Cancer Cachexia *spread & size is important Progressive loss of body fat & lean body mass Weakness, anorexia and anemia T stands for tumour - how far the primary tumour has grown Increased basal metabolic rate locally. Action of soluble factors-cytokines-TNF, IL-1, IFN-gamma, N stands for nodes - if the cancer has spread to the local Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) lymph nodes. M stands for metastases - if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Paraneoplastic Syndromes s/sx no connection with neoplastic T0 – carcinoma in situ; do not invade yet 1. May present the earliest manifestation of an occult neoplasm N0 – no lymph node involved Tumor Markers* 2. May represent significant clinical problems and may even be M0 – no metastasis HCG lethal – choriocarcinoma 3. May mimic metastatic disease and therefore confound Example: stomach cancer AFP treatment T-1 means the primary tumour is still in the stomach wall. T-3 – HCC means the primary tumour has grown right through the CEA 4. Endocrinopathies stomach wall and T-4 means it is invading nearby structures – colon, pancreas Cushing syndrome (most common endocrine), such as the pancreas. PSA, PAP ectopic hormone production in lung – prostate N-0 means there is no spread to lymph nodes. N-1 means that 5. Hypercalcemia (most common paraneoplastic) NSE some local lymph nodes are affected. N-2 means more Osteolysis – SCCL and neuroblastoma extensive spread to local lymph nodes. Calcemic humoral substances (PTHRP) CA 125 NOT due to skeletal metastasis M-0 means there are no metastases. M-1 means that there – ovarian 6. Neuromyopathic syndromes are metastases to some other area of the body such as the CA-19-9 liver or brain. Prepared by: EGBautistaII – colon, pancreas CA-15-3 – breast Prepared by: EGBautistaII
