-
cancer
- set of diseases caused by somatic cells escaping control mechanisms that normally limit their growth
- caused by mutations(dna changes) in genes that regulate cell cycle
-
proto-oncogenes
- code for proteins that stimulate normal cell growth&division converted into cancer-causing oncogenes by a genetic change that
- increases the amount of proto-cogene product
- increases the activity of proto-cogene product
-
tumor suppressor genes
- code for proteins that prevent cancer by repairing DNA controlling cell adhesion,or inhibiting cell cycle
- any mutation that decreases normal activity of a tumor suppressor gene may contribute to the onset of cancer
-
cancer cells
- do not respond to normal signals that regulate the cell cycle
- divide excessively&invade other tissues
- kill the organism if unchecked
- lack of density-dependent inhibition&anchorage dependence
- do not require growth factors to divide
- stop dividing at random points in cell cycle
- can go on dividing indefinitely because of high levels of telomerase
-
transformation
conversion of a normal cell to a cancer cell,more tham 1 somatic cell mutation is generally needed to produce full fledged cancer including appearance of at least one oncogene&loss of several tumor suppressor genes,bodys immune system destroys tranformed cells,surviving transformed cells proliferate,forming tumor
-
tumor
- mass of abnormal cells remain at the orgiginal site;can be completly removed by surgery

-
factors contributing to cancer&cancer treatment
- inheritance of an oncogene or a mutant tumor-suppressor gene predisposes an individual to cancer(15% of colorectal cancers,5-10% of breast cancers)
