Molecular Pathogenesis of Cancer ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
what is the cytologic apprearance of cancer cells? - Correct answers✔1. cytoplasmic basophilia =
loves bases - stains blue bc cytoplasm is acidic
2 some multinucleate cells
3 large/abnormal shaped nuclei
4 increased nuclear to cytoplasm ratio - aka large cytoplasm
5 increased number of. mitotic cells (cells dividing)
what are properties of cellular growth of cancer cells in vitro? - Correct answers✔1 immortality
2 decreased req for supplement growth factors
3 loss of contact inhibitor of growth (foci of cells develop in culture) AKA will form
clumps/foci/focus instead of monolayer
4 failure o differentiate - are dividing so fast wont diff, will stay young & continue to divide a lot
bc are young
5 loss of anchorage dependent growth - can grow in liquid
