What is cancer?
• Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia)• Malignant as opposed to benign–Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive, no metastasis–Malignant:- rapid growth, invasive, potential for metastasis
![Page 3: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
BENIGN MALIGNANT
NON-INVASIVE INVASIVE / METASTATIC
well-defined borders irregular borders
well differentiated poorly differentiated
regular nuclei irregular, larger nuclei
rare mitoses more frequent and/ or abnormal mitoses

The Vocabulary
• Hyperplasia : increased number of cells• Hypertrophy : increased size of cells• Dysplasia : disorderly proliferation• Neoplasia : abnormal new growth• Anaplasia : lack of differentiation • Tumor : originally meant any swelling,
but now equated with neoplasia• Metastasis : growth at a distant site
![Page 7: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Is cancer a heritable disease?
• There are heritable cancer syndromes• The majority of cancers, however, are not
familial• Cancer is a genetic disease, but the majority of
mutations that lead to cancer are somatic
![Page 8: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A factor which brings about a mutation is called a mutagen.
• A mutagen is mutagenic.
• Any agent that causes cancer is called a carcinogen and is described as carcinogenic.
• So some mutagens are carcinogenic.
![Page 9: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DNA of a normal cell
• This piece of DNA is an exact copy of the DNA from which it came. When the parent cell divided to create two cells, the cell's DNA also divided, creating two identical copies of the original DNA.
![Page 10: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2 .Mutation of DNA
• Here is the same section of DNA but from another cell. If you can imagine that DNA is a twisted ladder, then each rung of the ladder is a pair of joined molecules, or a base pair. With this section of DNA, one of the base pairs is different from the original.
This DNA has suffered a mutation, either through mis-copying (when its parent cell divided), or through the damaging effects of exposure to radiation or a chemical carcinogen.

Carcinogenesis Theories
I . NATURE and NURTURE THEORY GENES and ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS.
Phenotype = Genotype x Environment• Example: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)
II. MULTI-STAGE , MULTI-MECHANISM THEORY .
“Initiation, Promotion, Progression” Theory of Carcinogenesis.1. “initiation”:- is the Irreversible Alteration of a Cancer-Related Gene.
![Page 12: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. Promotion :- is the Clonal Expansion of the Initiated Cell. 1. Stimulation of Growth of Initiated cells by Mitogenic growth factors, hormones or compensatory hyperplasia caused by necrosis or
cell removal ( Surgery). 2. Prevention of cell Death ( Apoptosis). 3. Promotion is an Interruptible or Reversible phase
![Page 13: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Progression phase:-1. Stable Alteration of Genes in an Initiated Cell.2. Either Mutations or Epigenetic Events may Confer the Malignant Phenotypes of Invasiveness and Metastasis.
III. Mutation/Epigenetic theory
Mutagens:- 1. Physical Agents ( X Rays; UV Light).2. Electrophilic Chemicals( Nitrosamines, Benzo (a)pyrenes)
![Page 14: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Epigenesis:- Alteration of Gene Expression at the Transcriptional,Translational, or Posttranslational Levels.
1. Translational Level- Altered Methylation of DNA or Acetylation of Nuclear Proteins.
2. Translational Level- Alternative Splicing of mRNA.
3. Posttranslational Level: Modification of Proteins by Phosphorylation or Nitrosylation.
![Page 15: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Epigenetic Carcinogens or Tumor Promoters:-
1. Non-Mutagenic chemicals( e.g., DDT, Phenobarbital).
2. They Act as Either Mitogens and / or Inhibitors of Apoptosis.
![Page 16: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IV.ONCOGENE/ TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENE THEORY
-Derived from normal “proto-oncogenes”in all cells
-Tumor-specificity (i.e., neu or ERB2 expressed in breast cancer)
- Can be “activated” by amplification of the normal proto-oncogene; mutated to become activated; abnormally expressed.
1 .ONCOGENES
![Page 17: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF ONCOGENES
1. Growth Factors/Hormones (e.g., SIS;PDGF)
2. Growth Factor/Hormone-Receptors (e.g.,Neu; EGF-R)
3. Signal Transduction Enzymes (e.g., Ras;G-protein)
4. Transcription Factors (e.g., MYC)
![Page 18: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENE
Must be “de-activated”
• Can be tumor specific (BRCA-1/BRCA-2 in breast tumors; Rb
in retinoblastoma,osteosarcoma)
• Can be ubiquitous (p53 in at least 50% of all tumors)
![Page 19: Cancer By Dr. El Hassan Mokhamer. What is cancer? Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) Malignant as opposed to benign – Benign:- slow growth, non-invasive,](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103111/5519244e5503464a428b4c19/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ApoptosisA morphological description of a programmed sequence of events leading to single cell death within a population.
Apoptosis • during normal development• in response to environmental insult• a mechanism to eliminate pre-cancer cells.The function of apoptosis is to cleartissues of unwanted cells

condition.
These are blood tests for tumor
