Pathology of
Neoplasia

1
Neoplasia

Neoplasia:
• Neo + Plasia  New + Growth.
• Tumour  Swelling  any swelling*
• Clinically tumour = neoplasm (technically incorrect..!)
• Willis definition:
“A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue, the growth
of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the
normal tissue and persists in the same manner after
cessation of the stimuli which evoked the change”
• “Cell division without control”
• Irreversible DNA damage, resulting in
autonomous growth of abnormal cells *
Neoplasia

Cell population / Growth Control:


• Proliferation  Differentiation  Apoptosis * Normal
Neoplasia
Benign - Malignant
Stem cell
Carcinogen
Initiator + Promotor

Inflam Organ / Tissue

1.Proto-Oncogenes (growth factors) RAS Apoptosis


2.Growth/Tumor suppressor genes. Rb
3.Genes controlling Apoptosis. MYC
4.Genes controlling DNA Repair. p53
Neoplasia

Growth Disorders:
Non neoplastic Neoplastic
(Polyclonal) (Monoclonal)

Hyperplasia
Hypertrophy
Aplasia
Atrophy
Metaplasia
Dysplasia

Normal Adaptation Benign Malignant


Neoplasia

Cell division Control - Carcinogenesis*


Neoplasia
BENIGN MALIGNANT
• Benign
Well differentiated - • Malignant
Poorly differentiated
• Slow growth • Rapid growth
• Cohesive, • Non Cohesive,
• expansile • No capsule
• Capsule • invasion/infiltration
• No invasion/infiltration • Metastases.

Necrosis

Neoplasia
Oma - Tumour
Neoplasms Nomenclature: Carcin-oma – Hard Tumour
Sarc-oma - Soft Tumour
Cell of Origin Benign Malignant
• Gland. Epithelium • Adenoma - Adencarcinoma
• Lining. Epithelium • Papilloma - Squamous cell ca.

• Fibroblast • Fibroma - Fibrosarcoma


• Osteoblast • Osteoma - Osteosarcoma
• Chondrocyte • Chondroma Chondrosarcoma
• Lipocyte • Lipoma Liposarcoma
• Smooth muscle • Leiomyoma Leiomyosarcoma
• Skeletal muscle • Rhabdomyoma Rhabdomyosarcoma
Neoplasia

Nomenclature: exceptions
• Teratoma – Tumour of Germ cell – multiple tissues. Benign
(mature) or malignant (immature)
• Melanoma (Melano-carcinoma) – Malignancy of
melanocytes.
• Seminoma (Seminal carcinoma) –carcinoma of Testes.
• Leukemia – white blood – Ca. of Haemopoietic stem cells.
• Lymphoma (Lymphosarcoma)– Malignancy of lymphocytes.
• Mixed Tumours: Both epithelial & connective tissue
components. Pleomorphic adenoma (Salivary gland) &
Carcinosarcoma (breast/uterus)

Cancer Clinical Features

Cancer Biology

Neoplasia

Cancer Biology:
• Structure:
– Parenchyma – Neoplastic cells.
– Stroma: Non neoplastic - normal DNA
• Features:
– Differentiation – Maturation of cells.
– Rate of Growth – Mitotic rate / Ki 67
– Local invasion – Hemorrhage, necrosis, destruction
– Metastasis – Distant Spread.

• Tumors are clonal (one parent)
Normal
cell • But have different mutations  different
shapes & features.
First • Each new mutation adds a new feature.
mutation

Second
mutation

Third
mutation
Malignant cells
Fourth or
later mutation

More new mutations with time.


Neoplasia

6 Features of Cancer cells:


Clinically each patient’s
cancer has a different
mix of features
depending on quality &
quantity of mutations
& changes with time...!
Neoplasia

Neoplasia: Retrograde evolution…!


Embryo Cancer

Self growth
auto regulation
Limitless potential
Angiogenesis
Evade apoptosis
Invasion & infiltration
Neoplasia

Pathogenesis of Lung Cancer.


Irritation  Carcinogens  Initiation  Promotion  Ca.

Metastasis: Lymphatic, Hematogenous, Direct.


Metastasis:
Pathogenesis:
1. Cell loosening
2. BM degradation
3. Invasion
4. Locomotion
5. BV adhesion
6. Intra-vasation
7. Tumour embolus
8. Adhesion
9. Extra-vasation
10. Angiogenesis
11. Growth. • E-Cadherin, β-catenin
• Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP)
• Collagenase (not in benign)
• Actin Cytoskeleton, chemokine
What chemical mediators are involved?

Neoplasia

Cancer Diagnosis: e.g. Lung Cancer.


• Cell of origin • Bronchial Epith.
• Rate of growth • Mitotic rate – grade.
– Low, Intermediate, high

Grade
• Differentiation • Maturation of cells
– Well – Mod – Poor – Un diff.
• Local Invasion • Tumour Stage.. 1,2,3,4.

Stage
• Metastasis • Distant Spread..

DIAGNOSIS: (Lung cancer)


Bronchogenic Squamous cell Carcinoma, high grade,
Stage T2, N1, M1, Liver+ LN++ (in.. patient details..).
