The development of colon cancer is particularly well- studied, and often has a predictable order of mutations. Briefly describe the most common steps in the progression of colon cancer in the order of key genes mutated.
According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer screening should begin at age 50 for people at average risk. Imagine you have a family history of colon cancer. From your research, with reasons which procedures would your physician order for you and at what age ?
1. the wnt story:- a) Discuss the role of Wnt pathway in the normal development of epithelia within the colon – stem cells, differentiated epithelia, and shedding epithelia. b)Then discuss how this path gets altered in the familial cancer FAP – familial adenomatous polyposis? How does it get impacted in non-hereditary colon cancer? Your discussion should explain how the altered wnt path leads to hyperplastic epithelia
The images below are of immunohistochemistry stains for E-cahedrin of ductal lobe carcinomas of the breast from two different patients. The presence of E-cahedrin is revealed by a brownish red stain. Based on this data, which patient (B or D) has the highest risk of metastasis to other tissues? Justify your response (limit 5-6 sentences)
Select all of the sentences below that correctly describe the role of a healthy diet and lifestyle in cancer risk and progression. Select all that apply. A)Dietary supplements are definitively linked to lowering cancer risk. B)Consumption of processed meat containing nitrates and nitrites may increase a person’s risk of certain cancers. C)Grilling is a healthy cooking method; therefore, the consumption of all types of grilled meat will help reduce the risk of cancer. D)Folate may help reduce the incidence of colon cancer. E)Fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, all of which help reduce the risk of certain cancers.
1. Describe & explain the pathophysiology of cancer based on the diagram. Reference: https://www.onlinebiologynotes.com/cancer-etiology-pathophysiology-types-diagnosis-and- treatment/ Acquired (environmental) DNA damaging agents: • chemical • radiation viruses Activation of growth- promoting oncogenes NORMAL CELL DNA Damage Failure of DNA repair Mutations in the genome of somatic cells Alteration of genes that regulate apoptosis Malignant neoplasm / Successful DNA repair CANCER Inherited mutations: • Genes affecting DNA repair • Genes affecting cell growth Expression of altered gene products and loss of regulatory gene products Inactivation of cancer suppresor genes Clonal expansion Additional mutations (progression) T Heterogeneity
Which of the following statements are correct about tumor cell masses (select all that apply)? A. Stromal cells of tumor masses are generally just contaminants and play no role in tumor progression B. Most stromal cells are of mesenchymal origin C. Fibroblasts, macrophages and lymphocytes are commonly found in the stroma of tumor masses D. In Hodgkin's Lymphoma, the majority of cells in the tumor mass are neoplastic E. In carcinomas, neoplastic and stromal cells are present at similar numbers
The CT scan reveals a tumor of the lung and a biopsy (removal of tissue for examination) is scheduled. Define cancer and the TNM and Roman Numeral classification system that will be used to describe the tumor. (The use of diagrams is recommended. Be sure to include your sources).
A non-English speaking woman in her 60s has a change in bowel habits and weight loss and is found to have a carcinoma of the colon. The woman’s son and daughter ask the physician not to tell their mother that she has cancer. They tell the physician that people in her generation are not told they have a potentially life-threatening condition, and that if she is told she will despair. While discussing the diagnosis with the physician, the son and daughter suggest that their mom simply be told that she has a “growth” that needs to be removed. As based on what you know from virtue theory, what would a virtuous person say about this situation?
Although cancer is not a contagious disease in humans or other vertebrates, there have been rare cases in which cancers have spread from one organism to another. Describe three cases of these contagious cancers and what conditions might have led to their appearance.

1. (a) Define placebo (b) Suppose there is a new drug targeting a type of cancer and the clinical trials are to be done with cancer patients, outline and explain the potential set-up of the evaluation for effect of the new drug. (Hint: The set-up should not jeopardize the patients receiving a placebo.)
