Presentation Transcript

  1. RATs • What is the Warburg effect? • What is the Knudson’s hypothesis? • What is the definition of epigenetic changes in tumorigenesis or carcinogenesis? • Why HPV (high risk HPV) is oncogenic?

  2. PATH 6266: NEOPLASIA • Neoplasia • The new and abnormal development of cells that may be benign or malignant • Malignant Tumors • Carcinoma • Breast Cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer • Sarcoma • Liposarcoma • Osteosarcoma • Chondrosarcoma • Leimyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma • Lymphoma • Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (T cell, B-Cell) • Hodgkin lymphoma • Leukemia • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia • CML t(9; 22) (BCR-ABL) • AML-M3 t(15; 17) (PML/RARa) • Multiple myeloma

  3. Differentiation • Anaplasia • Metaplasia • Dysplasia: disordered growth • Carcinoma in-situ

  4. Dissemination of Cancers • Direct seeding of body cavities or surfaces • Lymphatic spread • Hematogenous spread

  5. Invasion and Metastasis • Changes (“loosening up”) of tumor cell-cell interaction • Degradation of ECM • Attachment to novel ECM components • Migration of tumor cells

  6. EMT • Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition • Inflammatory cytokines • E-Cadherin • Reverse of EMT • COX-2 inhibitor

  7. G1 DNA Damage Checkpoint * DNA damage ATM kinase Rb------------ E2F Rb-P

  8. Follicular lymphoma t(14;18)

  9. Head/Neck SCC: HPV

  10. Molecular Classification of Breast Cancer RT-PCR using cDNA array of more than 500 genes

  11. Targeted Molecular Therapy • Gleevec: STI 571 (Imatinib mesylate) • Chronic myeloid leulemia (CML) • BCR-ABL • Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) • C-KIT mutation (80-90% of GIST) • Exon 11: 67-83% response rate • Exon 9: 40% response rate • Platelet-derived growth factor-a receptor (2% of the GIST) • No known tyrasine kinase mutation: 11% • 32% response rate to imatinib A Kit exon 11 mutation was the single best predictor of an objective response to Imatinib.

  12. Molecular Therapy • Colon Cancer • KRAS: 30% • BRAF: 10% • MSI

  13. Molecular Therapy • Breast Cancer • 20% + Her2/neu • Worse prognosis • Improved survival • Colorectal Cancer • KRAS, BRAF • Nonsmall cell lung Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) • KRAS, EGFR, ALK-1
