Please answer this following questions in your own words: Question1: let say that a 70 years old man later find out that he was diagnosed with carcinoma of the lung, but unfortunately it had metastasized to different parts of the bones. Keeping that in mind explains the steps of a normal cell division and how/why it differs in relation to cancer. Also, define the term metastasis and the most common cause of cancer in your own words.

Excessive angiogenesis and reduced apoptosis are two of the six characteristics that define cancerous tumors. Discuss how developing treatments for these two conditions might prevent the development of cancer altogether from pre-malignant tumors.
#1) Hyperplastic growth are not cancerous yet but show a higher than normal proliferation rate. True False #2) When cancer cells have not spread beyond its original site, the term used to describe it is benign growth intraepithelial neoplasia carcinoma stage 3 carcinoma in situ #9) Cancer cells generally have missense mutations in p53 gene, resulting in truncated p53 normally active p53 dominant negative p53 inactive p53 #10) Single or double stranded breaks in DNA activate Chk 1 and 2 kinases, which phosphorylates p53. This results in --- in the level of p53 in the cell. increase decrease
One of the major characteristics of cancer is uncontrolled proliferation of cells. There are several more characteristics of cancer, name TWO more:
In your own words, explain each of the hallmarks of cancer. (immortality, produce go signals, override stop signals, resist cell death, angiogenesis and how it relates to metastasis.
In your own words, explain how cancer cells differ from normal cells in regard to the following: Apoptosis
Cells can become cancerous for many reasons. Regardless of how they become cancerous, the same general pattern is followed. Put the steps of cancer development in order from first to last. 1. A cell begins to grow and divide uncontrollably.2. The cell metastasizes and moves through the bloodstream, spreading throughout the body.3. Part of the tumor breaks off and is now malignant.4. The benign tumor is confined to one place.5. A small mass forms, called a tumor.
Answer the following multiple-choice questions about cancer-promoting mutations. A gene whose mutant alleles function in a recessive way to predispose an individual’s cells to develop into cancer is called: A. a polymerase B. a proto-oncogene C. a tumor suppressor D. an oncogene EXPLAIN in 1-2 sentences:
Explain what it means when cancer is said to have a hereditary component.
A 6-year old Caucasian girl from northern Europe, with a family history of melanoma, has recently relocated with her family to a small town near Brisbane, Australia. Discuss the environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that could determine the girl’s susceptibility to cancer. Include in your answer how these factors can produce chromosomal or genetic alterations and the genetic steps that would result in metastatic melanoma, focusing on the classes of cancer genes involved in these processes
In your own words, explain how cancer cells differ from normal cells in regard to the following: Cell to cell communication
Invasion step of metastasis is a complex process that involves epithelial cells transitioning into mesenchymal cells. Compare the characteristics of epithelial cells and characteristic of mesenchymal cells and explain how the characteristics of mesenchymal cells allow cancer to invade surrounding tissue.
