C
(T/F) The hyperplasia associated with formation of terminal end buds (TEBs) and ductal elongation during puberty in breast is a pathological process seen only in breast cancer.
F
T/F) During menopause, breast cancer may develop due to aberrant estrogen receptor activation.
T
(T/F) Estrogen binding to its cytoplasmic receptor leads to activated estrogen receptor moving to the nucleus where it functions to enhance gene transcription.
T
(T/F) Hyperplasia in the smooth muscles cells of the uterus is primarily responsible for uterine enlargement during pregnancy.
F
(T/F) Hormone (excess estrogen)-induced hyperplasia in endometrium occurs during menopause due to reduced progesterone signaling.
T
(T/F) Dysplasia is characterized by abnormal changes in cell structure/number and can be a precursor to cancer.
