Neoplasia
Question | Answer |
---|---|
neoplasia | new, abnormal growth, uncontrolled cells proliferation (multiplication, irreversible |
tumor | "swelling", used as a synonym for neoplasm |
what behavior do neoplasms exhibit? | unlimited growth and unregulated growth |
what are causes of neoplasia | chemicals viruses (aka oncogenic viruses) radiation (sunlight, xrays, nuclear fission) (can occur spontaneously secondary to a genetic mutation |
what are tumor classifications? | benign and malignant |
benign tumor (neoplasia) | localized, encapsulated w/ fibrous CT, invade adjacent tissue, resemble normal ctissue tx. surgical excision, either local excision or enucleation |
malignant tumor (cancerous) | invades and destroys surrounding tiss., can spread, well differentiated-neoplasic cells resemble normal cells poorly diferentiated- do not undifferentiated/anaplastic-do not resemble tiss. derived from at all |
pleomorphic | cells of malignant tumors vary in size and shape |
