Neoplasia CORRECT ANSWERS
"New growth" - commonly called tumor
Cancer vs Tumor CORRECT ANSWERS
Cancer is a type of tumor, usually one that grows rapidly (but not always; lungs tumor grows
slowly).
Is Cancer Malignant or Benign? CORRECT ANSWERS
malignant
3 aspect of a benign tumor CORRECT ANSWERS
Slow growing
Relatively localized
Well defined capsule (doesn't really break off)
malignant tumor characteristics CORRECT ANSWERS
Grow rapidly
Not encapsulated
Invasive
Poorly differentiated
High mitotic index
Can spread distantly (metastasis)
when cancer spreads it most often spreads to this tissue/organ system first?

6 fundamental hallmarks of cancer CORRECT ANSWERS
1. Sustained Proliferative Signal (self sufficient growth signal)
-Evading Growth Suppression (insensitivity to anti-growth signal)
-Activate Invasion and Metastasis (tissue invasive/metastasis)
-Limitless Replicative Potential (telomeres)
-Induce Angiogensis (sustained angiogenesis)
-evades apoptosis
Neoplasm is derived from how many progenitor cells? CORRECT ANSWERS
1
(just a single progenitor cell)
Most cancers start monoclonal (from just one cell)
Can a neoplasm be benign? CORRECT ANSWERS
Yes.
It is benign if the mutations are limited to the adjacent normal tissue and the neoplasm remains
confined to it's original site.
is cancer benign or malignant? CORRECT ANSWERS
malignant
What is the "Clonal Evolution" model of tumor development? CORRECT ANSWERS
The process of successive multiple mutations, leading ultimately to a heterogenous malignant
neoplasm.
