Leading cause of cancer deaths -CORRECT ANSWER Male- lung and bronchus
Female- lung and bronchus
without shape or differentiation, small and round -CORRECT ANSWER Anaplastic
A Developmental gene expressed at an inappropriate time, capable of transforming a
normal cell into a cancer cell -CORRECT ANSWER Oncogene
cancer development; also called carcinogenesis -CORRECT ANSWER Oncogenisis
substances that change the activity of a cell's genes so that the cell becomes a cancer
cell. May be chemicals, physical agents, or viruses -CORRECT ANSWER Carcinogen
COMMON CARCINOGENS -CORRECT ANSWER Alcohol
Steroids
Arsenic
Asbestos
Benzene
Chemotherapy drugs
Diesel exhaust
formaldehyde
new cell growth not needed for normal body growth -CORRECT ANSWER Neoplasm
new, nonmalignant cell growth not needed for normal body growth -CORRECT
ANSWER Benign neoplasm
cancerous, new growth of cells by invasion that is not needed for normal growth and
development -CORRECT ANSWER Malignant neoplasm
a tumor formed in a specific tissue as a result of a carcinogenic agent or event -
CORRECT ANSWER Primary tumor
a tumor formed as a result of breaking off from a primary tumor and spreading to distant
sites (metastisis) -CORRECT ANSWER Secondary tumor
, cell division by exact duplication
-Most tissues and organs stop growing by cell division after development is complete -
CORRECT ANSWER Mitosis
growth that causes tissue to increase in size by enlarging each cell-normal cells -
CORRECT ANSWER Hypertrophy
growth that causes tissue to increase in size by increasing the number of cells- cancer -
CORRECT ANSWER Hyperplasia

-Grow in an orderly and well-regulated manner
Characteristics- continued -CORRECT ANSWER -Contact inhibited- each cell divides
only when some of its surface is not in direct contact with another cell
-Euploid- having 23 pairs of chromosomes
Characteristics of abnormal cell growth
-Benign tumor cells -CORRECT ANSWER -Have inappropriate or continuous cell
growth
