McCance Pathophysiology - Cancer II
how cancer cells metastasize in the lungs - arrest in nearby capillary beds
in situ neoplasm - localized cancer cells, not yet invaded the stroma
invasive neoplasm - cancer cells that have invaded the muscularis mucosa and submucosa
leukopenia - decreased number of white blood cells
liver cancer causing HYPOGLYCEMIA - increase in insulin-like substance
lung cancer causing HYPERCALCEMIA - increase in PTH related protein
lung cancer causing THROMBOSIS - increase in clotting
modifiable lifestyle factor - smoking
MOST common area of metastases - lungs
new blood vessels are created - angiogenesis
non-modifiable lifestyle factor - i.e. family, infections
non-occupational environmental factor - i.e. endocrine disruptions, air pollution
occupational environmental factor - i.e. ionizing radiation, UV from working outside
