  5. Origins & Terms

  6. Benign vs malignant

  7. Distribution of Cancer

  8. Diameter of Tumour (mm) Tumour Cell doubling Growth of Breast Cancer Death of Patient 1012cells Tumour first palpable 109cells Tumour visible by X rays 108cells

  9. Altered Growth Properties

  10. Localized Benign Tumour

  11. Tumour Invasion of Basal Lamina

  12. Metastasizes to Other Sites

  13. Tumour Antigens • Tumour specific Antigens • chemically induced • virally induced • Tumour associated antigens • oncofetal tumour antigens • oncogene proteins

  14. TSTA vs TATA

  15. Radio labelled anti CEA

  16. Genes for TSTAs

  17. Malignant Transformation • Oncogenes • Induction of cell proliferation • Inhibition of cell proliferation • Regulation of apoptosis

  18. Chromosomal translocations

  19. Tumour Induction

  20. Induction of Tumours

  21. Tumours of the Immune System

  22. TATAs on human melanomas

  24. Immunity to Polyoma virus(1)

  25. Immunity to Polyoma virus(2)

  26. Immunity to Polyoma virus (3)

  27. Immunity to Polyoma Virus (4)

  28. Immune Response to Tumours • NK cells & macrophages • Immune surveillance theory

  29. Tumour Evasion of Immune Response • Immunologic enhancement • Modulation of tumour antigens • Reduce MHC-I • No co-stimulatory signal

  30. Tumor Escape

  31. Cancer Immunotherapy • Modify Co-stimulatory signal • Enhance APC activity • Cytokine therapy • MABs • Tumour cell vaccines
