•

Genetic disease

Hereditary cancer

Sunday, December 08, 2013

Oncology
• factors may suggest hereditary cancer
1. Tumor development at a much younger age than
usual
2. Presence of bilateral disease
3. Presence of multiple primary malignancies
4. Presentation of a cancer in the less affected sex
5. Clustering of the same cancer type in relatives
6. Occurrence of cancer in association with other
conditions such as mental retardation or
pathognomonic skin lesions

Editor's Notes

  1. Figure 6-26 A-D, Schematic illustration of the sequence of events in the invasion of epithelial basement membranes by tumor cells. Tumor cells detach from each other because of reduced adhesiveness, then attach to the basement membrane via the laminin receptors and secrete proteolytic enzymes, including type IV collagenase and plasminogen activator. Degradation of the basement membrane and tumor cell migration follow.
  2. genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis. Tumorigenesis proceeds through a series of genetic alterations involving oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. In general, the three stages of adenomas represent tumors of increasing size, dysplasia, and villous content. Individuals with familial adenomatouspolyposis (FAP) inherit a mutation on chromosome arm 5q. In tumors arising in individuals without polyposis, the same region may be lost or mutated at a relatively early stage of tumorigenesis. A ras gene mutation (usually K-ras) occurs in one cell of a pre-existing small adenoma which, through clonal 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 their order of appearance, seems most important. Tumors continue to progress once carcinomas have formed, and the accumulated chromosomal alterations correlate with the ability of the carcinomas to metastasize and cause death.

  3. Figure 6-29 Tumor progression and generation of heterogeneity. New subclones arise from the descendants of the original transformed cell by multiple mutations, as illustrated in Figure 6-27. With progression the tumor mass becomes enriched for variants that are more adept at evading host defenses and are likely to be more aggressive
  4. Gompertzian tumor growth. The growth fraction of a tumor declines exponentially over time (top). The growth rate of a tumor peaks before it is clinically detectable (middle). Tumor size increases slowly, goes through an exponential phase, and slows again as the tumor reaches the size at which limitation of nutrients or auto- or host regulatory influences can occur. The maximum growth rate occurs at 1/e, the point at which the tumor is about 37% of its maximum size (marked with an X). Tumor becomes detectable at a burden of about 109 (1 cm3) cells and kills the patient at a tumor cell burden of about 1012 (1 kg). Efforts to treat the tumor and reduce its size can result in an increase in the growth fraction and an increase in growth rate

  6. The probabilities of tumor control and of complications at different doses. A. At lower doses, the probability of complications is low, with a moderate chance of tumor control. B. Increasing the dose may gain a higher chance of tumor control at the price of significantly higher complication risks. (Modified from Eisbruch et al, 240 with permission.)
