pathology of cancer
Dx=diagnosis

100+ different diseases
normal cells mutate, replicate
from epithelium= carcinoma
from mm, connective tissue = sarcoma

stats: half men, third of women
#2 cause of death U.S. and world wide
5yr survival rate, this is arbitrary
75% or more due to lifestyle choices
skin cancer most common Dx
lung most common death

step in metastasis
oncogene activation (accelerator)
proliferation- cell division
angiogenesis- grows own blood vessels
invasion
migration- tour
colonization

Causes:
internal factors
inhibition of apoptosis
inherited factors
hormonal activity
immune system function

external factors
246 substance as carcinogens
Pathogens:
viruses-HPV, Epstein-Barr, HIV
