Incidence Rate of NeoplasmsMalignant Neoplasms ranked

number 3 in the over-all cause ofmorbidity in 2005

CARCINOGENESIS

The Cell Cycle

During the synthetic or Sphase, the cell generates a singlecopy of its genetic material,.

Mitotic or M phase, the

cellular components arepartitioned between two daughtercells.

The G1 and G2 phasesrepresent gap phases duringwhich the cells preparethemselves for completion of theS and M phases, respectively.

When cells ceaseproliferation, they exit the cellcycle and enter the quiescentstate referred to as G0.

In human tumor cell-cycle

regulators like INK4A, INK4B, andKIP1 are frequently mutated oraltered in expression.

These alterationsunderscore the importance of

cell-cycle regulation in theprevention of human cancers.

Six Essential Alteration in CellPhysiology that Dictate MalignantGrowth

1. Self- sufficiency in growth signals2. Insensetivity to antigrowth signals3. Tissue invasion and metastasis4. Limited replicative potential5. Sustained angiogenesis6. Evading apoptosis

**RememberSALISE in patho.Self sufficiency in growth signalsAbility to invade and metastasizeLimitless replicative potentialInsensitivity to growth-inhibitorysignalsSustained angiogenesisEvasion of APOPTOSIS

Angiogenesis is theestablishment of new bloodvessels from a pre-existingvascular bed which is essentialfor tumor growth and metastasis.

Tumors develop an angiogenic

phenotype as a result of accumulated genetic alterationsand in response to local selectionpressures such as hypoxia.

Apoptosis is a geneticallyregulated program to dispose ofcells.

o Cancer cells must avoidapoptosis if tumors are toarise.

o The growth of a tumor

mass is dependent not onlyon an increase inproliferation of tumor cellsbut also on a decrease intheir apoptotic rate.


3/18

14

Metastases arise from thespread of cancer cells from theprimary site and the formation ofnew tumors in distant sites.

A feature of malignant cells istheir ability to invade thesurrounding normal tissue. Theability to invade involves

o changes in adhesion,o initiation of motility, ando proteolysis of the

extracellular matrix (ECM).

Oncogenes counterpart: Proto-oncogenes

they are originally proto-oncogenesthat become abnormal throughmutation, chromosomal transfer, oramplification

These are:

o PGFR (growth

factor)

o HER 2 neu

(growth factor receptor)

o c-myc

(nuclear transcription factor)

o ras

(intracellular signaltransduction molecules)

Tumor supressor genes (mutationsin these genes leads to cancer):

o RB1o p53o APCo BRCA 1 and 2-breast cancer genes

FACTORS AFFECTINGCARCINOGENESIS

A. Genetic Factors(See Last Page for table)

General Features of HereditaryCancer Syndromes

Same or linked forms of cancer intwo or more close relatives

Earlier than usual cancer onset in

one or more relatives

Bilateral cancer in paired organs Multiple primary tumors in the

same individual

Specific constellation of tumorsare part of known cancersyndrome

Evidence of autosomal dominant

transmission of cancersusceptibility

B. Chemical Factorso even chemotherapicagents can cause malignancies.

o chemical carcinogensusually affect specific organs,targeting the epithelial cells (orother susceptible cells within anorgan) and causing geneticdamage (genotoxic)

o the most commonlyassociated exposures that increasecancer risk are:

tobacco,alcohol,

diet, and

reproductivefactors (e.g., sexual behaviorand hormones).

o Chemically relatedDNA damage and consequentsomatic mutations relevant tohuman cancer can occur:

Directy fromexogenous exposures

Indirectly activation of endogenousmutagenic pathways (e.g.,nitric oxide and oxyradicals)

Chemotherapeutic Agents


4/18

14

C. Viral Factors

May cause or increase the risk ofmalignancy through:

o direct transformation,

expression of oncogenes thatinterfere with cell-cycle

checkpoints or DNA repairo expression of cytokines or other growthfactorso alteration of theimmune system.

Oncogenic viruses may beRNA or DNA types

1. RNA Viruses

Retroviruses that containreverse transcriptase.

After infection, the single-stranded RNA viral genome istranscribed into a double-

stranded DNA copy, which isthen integrated into thechromosomal DNA of the cell.

Retroviral infection of thecell is permanent; thusintegrated DNA sequencesremain in the host chromosome

2. DNA Viruses

Unlike the oncogenes of the RNAviruses, those of the DNA tumorviruses are viral, not cellular, inorigin.

These genes are required for viralreplication using the host cellmachinery.

In permissive hosts, infection withan oncogenic DNA virus mayresult in a productive lyticinfection, which leads to celldeath and the release of newlyformed viruses.

In nonpermissive cells, the viralDNA can be integrated into thecellular chromosomal DNA, andsome of the early viral genes canbe synthesized persistently,which leads to transformation ofcells to a neoplastic state.

The binding of viral oncoproteinsto cellular tumor-suppressorproteins p53 and Rb isfundamental to thecarcinogenesis induced by mostDNA viruses, although sometarget different cellular proteins.


5/18

Biological Agents that CauseCarcinogenesis

D. Physical Factors1. Radiation

Damage nucleotides,cross linkage, DNA single anddouble stranded breaks,inactivates tumor suppressorgene, induces genomic instabilityin cells that persist at least 30generations

Induces DNA lesions that

damage nucleotide bases andcross-linking, and DNA single-and double-strand breaks(DSBs).

Misrepaired DSBs are theprincipal lesions of importance inthe induction of chromosomalabnormalities and gene

mutations.

DSBs in irradiated cellsare repaired primarily by anonhomologous end-joiningprocess, which is error prone;thus DSBs facilitate theproduction of chromosomal

rearrangements and other large-scale changes such aschromosomal deletions.

It is thought that radiationmay initiate cancer byinactivating tumor-suppressorgenes.

Radiation inducesgenomic instability in cells thatpersists for at least 30generations after irradiation.

Therefore, even if cells donot acquire mutations at initialirradiation, they remain at riskfor developing new mutations forseveral generations.

** how radiation produce cancer allthe things are on the molecular level

2. UV Rays

UV light creates UV-specificdipyrimidine photoproducts in theDNA of the target cells.

When these are not sufficientlyrepaired, errors in replication canresult in characteristic mutations


6/18

14

in critical genes.

3. Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurringmineral silicone that results from

fibrous crystallization

Induce DNA damage, includingDSBs, mutations, andchromosomal damage.

Asbestos fibers can impair mitosisand chromosomal segregation,which can result in aneuploidy.

Due to formation of reactiveoxygen species

Can cause Mesothelioma

**In a cell cycle, there are a lot ofcheckpoints but if tumor suppressorgenes/oncogenes enter the cycle theywill bypass the checkpoints, causing alot of mutations and later on they willbecome cancer.

SURGERY IN CANCERMANAGEMENT

DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER

Biopsy

An examination of tissue removedfrom a living body in order to

determine the presence or extentof a disease.

Origin 19th century French fromGreek bios (life) and opsis (sight)

Types of BiopsyNeedle Biopsy

- Fine Needle

- Core NeedleOpen Surgical Biopsy

- Incision Biopsy- Excision Biopsy

NEEDLE BIOPSY

1. Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

A cytologic technique inwhich cells are aspirated from atumor using a needle and syringe

with the application of negativepressure.

Aspirated tissue consists ofdisaggregated cells rather thanintact tissues

Other related terms:

o Fine needle cytology

o Fine needle biopsy

o Needle aspiration biopsy

o

Aspiration biopsyo Aspiration cytology

o Needle biopsy

Equipment needed:

o 10 or 20ml syringe

o Gauge 21- 27 needle

o Glass slides

o Local anesthetic

Where is it done?o Office or clinic

Advantages:

o Office procedure

o Cheap

o Fast

o High sensitivity


7/18

14

Disadvantages:

o Needs experiencedcytopathologist

o Low specificity

o Can not distinguishinvasive from in-situmalignancies

2. Core Needle Biopsy

Performed with a large cuttingneedle, usually 14 gauge,deployed into the area of concernby a rapid-fire, spring-loaded,automated instrument.

Retrieves a small piece of intacttumor tissue, which allows thepathologist to study theinvasive

relationship between cancer cellsand the microenvironment.

Advantages:

o Sampled material familiarto most pathologists

o Insufficient samplinginfrequent (


8/18

14

o Needs heavy sedation,even general anesthesia

o Done in the operating room

Guiding Principles in BiopsyProcedures

1. Needle tracks or scars should beplaced carefully so that they canbe conveniently removed as partof the subsequent definitivesurgical procedure.

2. Care should be taken to avoidcontaminating new tissue planesduring the biopsy procedure.

3. Adequate tissue samples must beobtained to meet the needs of thepathologist.

4. When knowledge of theorientation of the biopsyspecimen is important forsubsequent treatment, thesurgeon should mark distinctiveareas of the tumor carefully tofacilitate subsequent orientationof the specimen by thepathologist.

5. Placement of radiopaque clipsduring biopsy and staging

procedures is sometimesimportant to delineate areas ofknown tumor and to guide thesubsequent delivery of radiationtherapy to these areas.

HOW WILL YOU BIOPSY NON-PALPABLE LESIONS?

Pulmonary nodule

Retroperitoneal mass

Image-guided biopsy for non-palpable lesions of the breast

Stereotactic guidance Ultrasound guidance Magnetic resonance imaging

guidance Needle localization biopsy

A. Stereotactic Guidance

Uses the principle of parallax todetermine the lesion position in 3-D space

Two angled xray views(stereotactic pair) acquired withthe beam 15 degrees on eitherside of the center are used tolocalize the mammographic lesion

A computer algorithm /software isused to calculate the position of

the lesion

1. Automated core biopsyguns

Multiple core biopsysamples are necessary toensure accurate sampling

May need 5 -10 samplings


9/18

Require multiple needleinsertions

2. Vacuum-assisted biopsydevice (Mammotome Stereotactic or ultrasoundguidance)

Inserted once and rotated

while in the breast to obtainsamples from different areas ofthe lesion.

A vacuum is used to pulltissue into the sample notch

and transported to thecollection chamber

Using the vaccum-assistedbreast biopsy system, the probeis positioned at the lesion. Itvacuums, cuts, and removestissue samples, which arepassed through the probeshollow chamber into a collectiontray. This allows for multiplesamples to be collected wholeonly one incision into the breastis made.

CANCER STAGING

Why is cancer staging needed?

To be able to prognosticate

To be able to choose theappropriate management

Staging Systems


10/18

14

Which staging system to usedepends on the type ofmalignancy

AJCC/UICC uses TNM and is themost commonly used for almostall solid tumors

FIGO preferred by gynecologists

Other systems for hematologicmalignancies

TREATMENT OF CANCER

1. Removal of primary tumorprovides local and regional controlof the malignant process.

Local tumor itself withmargin of normal tissue

Regional draining lymphnodes

Questions before surgery Is there informed consent?

Discuss risks and benefits Will the patient tolerate the

procedure? Presence of co-morbid

factors Nutritional status Performance status

Curative or palliative?

COLON CANCER

**The lymphatic drainage of lesions in variousanatomic locations throughout the colon.

Tumor A in the cecum orascending colon.

A -> A (left colon) local margin isfollowed on the surgical resectionto satisfy the regional control(lymph nodes) which are foundalong the vasculature (rightcolon)

Remember:o carcinoma epithelial in

origin metastasizes throughlymphatic system (lumphnodes).

o Sarcoma - mesenchymal in

origin metastized throughhematogenous route


12/18

BREAST CANCER

Modified Radical Mastectomy vs.L umpectomy

MRM = Lumpectomy with axillarydissection + radiation

Radiation is needed tosterilize the breast tissue thatwas left behind after the surgery

Lumpectomy for lessermagnitude

Has a high chance ofrecurrence but with samerate of survival with TotalMastectomy.

Breast is kept

SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY

Used to determine the status ofaxillary lymph nodes withoutencountering the morbidities ofdoing full Axillary Lymph NodeDissection (ALND)

usually performed before removalof the primary breast tumor

ALND has complication like lymphedema (LE).

To prevent LE, sentimental lymphnode is taken out.

Nuclear Dye is used to localizedthe sentinel lymph node.

Wide resection

Local control is used by excising

the tumor surrounding the normaltissue, regional control isdisregarded.

Stage III Locally Advanced BreastCancer

Preoperative Chemotherapy

Mastectomy or Breast ConversationTherapy (BCT) if possible

pre operative chemotherapy isgiven before the surgery to shrinkthe tumor.

If chemotherapy is given beforethe surgery there will be lessrecurrence and improvedsurvival.

But if chemotherapy is NOT givenbefore the surgery there is achance for an early recurrence.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy

In some instances, the extensivelocal spread of cancer precludesthe removal of all gross diseaseby surgery.

The partial surgical resection ofbulk disease in the treatment ofselected cancers improves theability of other treatment

modalities to control residualgross disease that has not beenresected.

Burkitt's lymphoma and ovariancancer

3.Metastatic disease

Removal of tumors thathave spread to distant sites

May lengthen a patientssurvival or even provide cure

As a general principle,patients with a single site ofmetastatic disease that can beresected without major morbidityshould undergo resection of thatmetastatic cancer

4. Oncologic Emergencies

exsanguinatinghemorrhage

perforation

drainage of abscesses

impending destruction ofvital organs

obstruction

5.Palliation

Surgical resection often isrequired for the reliefof pain orfunctional abnormalities.

The appropriate use ofsurgery in these settings canimprove the quality of life forcancer patients.

Palliative surgery mayinclude procedures to relievemechanical problems, such as

intestinal obstruction, or theremoval of masses that arecausing severe pain ordisfigurement

6. Reconstruction andRehabilitation

The ability to reconstructanatomic defects cansubstantially improve functionand cosmetic appearance

Lost function (especially ofextremities) often can be restoredby surgical approaches.

These includes lysis ofcontractures or muscletransposition to restore muscularfunction that has been damagedby previous surgery or radiationtherapy

7. Therapies other thansurgical therapy (read the book toknow this nice to knows :p )

Chemotherapy (Pharmao_0)

Hormonal Therapy

Targeted Therapy

Immunotherapy

Gene Therapy

Radiation Therapy(different lecture)

CANCER PREVENTION

Diet

Lifestyle

Three Categories (not in the ppt butin the book)

a. primary prevention

i.e., prevention of initialcancers in healthy individuals

b. secondary prevention

i.e., prevention of cancer inindividuals with premalignantconditions

c. tertiary prevention


14/18

14

i.e., prevention of secondprimary cancers in patientscured of their initial disease

RECURRENCE

Metastases can sometimes arise several

years after the treatment of primary

tumors.

o E.g breast cancer recurrences

have been reported decades after

the original tumor.

Dormancy - cells remain viable in a

quiescent state and then become

reactivated by a physiologically

perturbing evento Cells establish preangiogenic

metastases in which they continue to

proliferate but that proliferative rate

is balanced by the apoptotic rate.

A GENETIC MODEL FOR COLORECTAL TUMORIGENESIS

***This was not emphasized by Dr. Gellido but is included in his ppt.

A genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis.(**useful to know. The diagram part was not discussed extensively)

Tumorigenesis proceeds through a series of genetic alterations involving oncogenes and tumor-suppressorgenes.

In general, the three stages of adenomas represent tumors of increasing size, dysplasia, and villouscontent.

Individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) inherit a mutation on chromosome arm 5q.

In tumors arising in individuals without polyposis, the same region may be lost or mutated at arelatively early stage of tumorigenesis.

A ras gene mutation (usually K-ras) occurs in one cell of a pre-existing small adenoma which, throughclonal expansion, produces a larger and more dysplastic tumor.

The chromosome arms most frequently deleted include 5q, 17p, and 18q. Allelic deletions of chromosome arms 17p and 18q usually occur at a later stage of tumorigenesis

than do deletions of chromosome arm 5q or ras gene mutations.

The order of these changes varies, however, and accumulation of these changes, rather than theirorder of appearance, seems most important.
