Patho Ch 10 questions with answers
Malignant Tumors ✅✅have no capsule, spread easily, rapid growth rates, specific
microscopic alterations, poorly differentiated, spread to distant tissues
Sarcoma ✅✅Cancer of mesenchymal tissue (connective tissue, muscle, and bone)
Carcinoma ✅✅Cancer of epithelial tissue
Leukemia ✅✅cancer of blood-forming cells
Lymphoma ✅✅Cancer of lymphatic tissue
Anaplastic ✅✅absence of differentiation
Pleomorphic ✅✅describes anaplastic cells of varying size and shape
Immortal ✅✅cancerous cell's ability to live indefinitely
Independent ✅✅cancerous cell's independence from normal cell controls
Catecholamines ✅✅Serum marker used to evaluate a tumor of the adrenal gland
Found in excess if there is a tumor
PSA ✅✅Prostate-specific antigen
Used to detect prostate cancer
AFP ✅✅Alpha fetoprotein and is used to detect live and germ cell cancers
DNA ✅✅genetic material in cells, not serum marker
Tumor-suppressor genes ✅✅encode proteins that in their normal state negatively
regulate proliferation
Oncogens ✅✅mutant genes that in their normal nonmutant state direct synthesis of
protein that positively accelerates proliiferation
Telomeres ✅✅protective ends/caps on each chromosome
Protooncogene ✅✅oncogene in its non mutant state
Point mutation ✅✅small changes in one or a few nucleotides
