Q

What is neoplasia?

A
  • an abnormal mass of tissue
  • the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the normal tissues and persists in the same excessive manner after the cessation of the stimuli which evoked the changes which evoked the changes

25
Capsule in benign neoplasm compared to the malignant neoplasm:
- benign: almost always yes | - malignant: no
26
Local recurrence in benign neoplasm compared to the malignant neoplasm:
- benign: no | - malignant: yes
27
What are the pathways of disseminating:
- lymphatic spread - hematogenous spread - seeding within body cavities - perineural spread
28
What is a sentinal lymph node?
- first lymph node in a regional lymphatic basin that recieves lymph flow from a primary tumor - can be used to plan treatment
29
What is spreading by seeding?
- it occurs when neoplasms invade natural body cavities | - cancers of the ovary which often widely covers the peritoneal surface
30
Neoplasms of the CNS:
they may penetrate the cerebral ventricles and be carried by CSF to reimplant on the meningeal surfaces either within the brain or in the spinal cord
31
Benign:
- well differentiated cells that closely resemble their counterparts - mitosis are normal and are extremely scant
32
Lipoma -
mature fat cells
33
Chondroma -
mature cartilage
34
Malignant:
- wide range of parenchymal cell differentiation - from surprisingly well differentiated to completely undifferentiated (anaplastic). - between these two extremes: moderately differentiated
35
Malignant:
- wide range of parenchymal cell differentiation
36
Examples of malignant tumors:
- basal cell carcinoma | - pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland
37
Dysplasia def:
- the enlargement of an organ or tissue by the proliferation of cells of an abnormal type, as a developmental disorder or an early stage in the development of cancer - don´t always progress to cancer
38
What are the chances of malignant change in leiomyoma?
extremely rare
39
Dysplasia =
intraepithelial neoplasia
40
Dysplasia =
intraepithelial neoplasia
41
Carcinoma in situ:
when dysplastic changes are marked and involve the entire thickness of the epithelium
42
Cachexia:
general physical wasting and malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease.
43
What can small bile duct carcinoma lead to?
jaundice
44
What does TNF do?
- suppresses the apatite | - inhibits the action of lipoprotein lipase
45
Cancer cachexia def:
- progressive loss of body fat and lean body mass, - accompanied by profound weakness, anorexia and anemia - NOT caused by reduced food intake but by cytokines released by the tumor or the host - no satisfactory treatment
46
Protein-mobilizing factor (proteolysis-inducing factor):
break down of skeletal muscle proteins by ubiquitin-proteosome pathway
47
Paraneoplastic syndromes def:
- symptoms that occur in patient with cancer but without an explanation of why it occurs with certain cancer types - 10-15% of patient with cancers
48
Paraneoplastic syndromes mechanisms:
- abnormal hormone production - immunologic response - hypercoaguability - unknown
49
Abnormal hormone production:
- Cushing syndrome - Hypoglycemia - Hypercalcemia - Polycythemia - Carcinoid syndrome
50
Polycythemia def:
an abnormally increased concentration of haemoglobin in the blood, either through reduction of plasma volume or increase in red cell numbers.
51
Cushing syndrome:
(ACTH, ACTH-like substance) - small cell cancer of the lung - pancreatic cancer - neural tumor
52
Hypoglycemia:
(insulin, insulin-like substance) - hepatocellular cancer - mesenchymal sarcomas - fibrosarcomas
53
Hypercalcemia:
- squamous cell cancer of the lung - breast cancer - renal cancer - ovarian cancer - adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
54
Polycythemia:
(erythropoietin) - renal cancer - hepatocellular cancer - cerebellar heamangioma
55
Carcinoid syndrome:
(serotonin, bradykinin - bronchial adenoma - pancratic cancer - gastric cancer
56
Immunologic mechanism:
- Nephrotic syndrome - Dermatomyositis - Acanthosis nigricans - Myasthenia - Disorders in the peripheral and central nervous system
57
Nephrotic syndrome:
various cancers
58
Dermatomyositis:
- bronchogenic cancer | - breast cancer
59
Acanthosis nigricans:
- gastric cancer - lung gastric cancer - uterine cancer
60
Myasthenia:
bronchogenic cancer
61
Disorders in the peripheral and central nervous system:
breast cancer
62
What categories can we divide hereditary forms of cancer?
- inherited cancer syndromes (autosomal dominant) - familial cancers - inherited autosomal recessive syndromes of defective DNA repair
63
Inherited cancer syndromes (autosomal dominant)
most commonly germ-line mutation of cancer suppressor gene
64
Inherited autosomal recessive syndromes of defective DNA repair
connected with chromosomal or DNA instability
