What Is cancer Cancer is the most virulent disease and soon becoming the leading cause of death worldwide: as many as ca. 1 in 3 individuals develop cancer and 1 in 4 will die of it Percentage of all deaths due to five leading causes of death by year United States 1935-2010) All other causes Stroke Accidents(unintentional injuries) Influenza and pneumonia Certain diseases of early infancy Kidney disease Heart disease Chronic lower respiratory diseases 100 it 9351940 1970 1980 990 2000 NOTE: 2010 data are preliminary SOURCE: CDC/NCHS, National Vital Statistics System, Mortality http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db88.htm

An abnormal cell that grows and proliferates out of control will give rise to tumor or neoplasm. Benign: as long as the tumor cells do not become Invasive Malignant: tumor cells have acquired the a bility to invade surrounding tissues. a a tumor is considered a cancer only if it is malignant Metastasis: spread of malignant tumor cells throughout the body (typically through the blood and lymphatic system)

There are a large variety types of cancer which are classified according to the tissue and cell type from which they derive: carcinoma(arising from epithelial cells), sarcoma (from connective tissue or muscle cells), leukemia and lymphoma (from hemopoietic cells), cancers derived from cells of nervous system etc EPITHELIUM=> CARCINOMA (About 80%of human cancers Basal Lamina Collagen MESENCHYMAL ORIGIN >SARcoMA … fibro|asts … blood vessels blood cells muscle … adipocytes(fat) bone car tilage

Part 1 summary 1). The basic concepts Benign and malignant tumor Cancer cells reproduce without restraint and colonize other tissues 2). Cancer is a very complex and virulent disease Cancer is becoming the leading cause of death worldwide a There are large variety kinds of cancer which can be classified by their tissue or cell origin Different types of cancer can be considered as very different disease

2. What Causes Cancer Chemical Exposure Behavior(Tobacco smoke -> lung cancer) Environmental (polychlorinated biphenyl,(PCBs) Occupational (coal tar, asbestos aniline dye) Diet (aflatoxin-> liver cancer Radiation(UV-> Xeroderma pigmentosum, ionizing Infection Viruses(Epstein-Barr virus(EBv)-> lymphoma, hepatitis B->liver cancer, papilloma-> cervical cancer etc) Inherited familial cancer syndromes Mutations and or chromosomal abnormalities Most, if not all, of these causes have their genetic underpinning linked with cancer
2. What Causes Cancer? • Chemical Exposure – Behavior (Tobacco smoke -> lung cancer) – Environmental (polychlorinated biphenyl, (PCBs)) – Occupational (coal tar, asbestos, aniline dye) – Diet (aflatoxin -> liver cancer) • Radiation (UV -> xeroderma pigmentosum,ionizing) • Infection – Viruses (Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) -> lymphoma, hepatitis B -> liver cancer, papilloma -> cervical cancer etc) • Inherited familial cancer syndromes • Mutations and/or chromosomal abnormalities Most, if not all, of these causes have their genetic underpinning linked with cancer
