Cancer Epidemiology - second leading cause of death in the US
- expected to increase over time
- lung, cancer, colorectal, prostate, skin, and stomach are the
most common types
- carcinogen exposure
, Risk Factors/ Causes of Cancer -Carcinogens
-Environment
-Hormones
-Lifestyle
-Heredity
-Obesity
-Infectious disease
-Medications
-Immune status
-Age
-Nutrition
Cancer development state of very dynamic equilibrium
- uncontrolled cell growth
- altered cell differentiation (mature)
pyramid effect exponential growth of cancer cells from continuous and
indiscriminate proliferation
altered cell differentiation Two types of genes that can be affected by mutation:
- protoncogenes
- tumor suppressor genes
protooncogenes -regulate normal cellular processes, such as promoting
growth
-oncogenes are turned on when a protoncogenes mutates
oncogenes mutation of a regular gene and it starts to multiply
tumor suppressor cells -suppress growth
- BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 suppressor genes
Development of cancer initiation genetic mutation caused by carcinogens such as chemicals,
radiation, or infections, genetic mutations are only roughly 5%
- makes cells susceptible to becoming cancerous
Development of cancer Promotion Cells divide and grow, creating conditions that are favorable
to grow cancerous mutations, such as inflammatory agents,
hormones, chemicals, lifestyle, and obesity.
Development of Cancer Progression The tumor must develop and form its own blood supply. The
original tumor is a primary tumor; however, it can metastasize,
which occurs when cancer cells move from the primary
location by breaking off from the original group and
establishing remote colonies.
Benign cancer - Does not invade nearby tissue (metastasize)
- They typically don't grow back when removed
- Cells are differentiated
- Rarely reoccur after being removed
- They do have negative effects and can cause harm by
compressing nerves reducing blood flow or place pressure
within confined areas like the brain
