This document discusses neoplasia and the molecular basis of cancer. It covers the clinical effects and spread of cancer, including tumor-host relationships and pathological diagnosis. Cancer causes local and systemic effects on the host through fever, weight loss, endocrine/neurologic/hematologic syndromes, and more. Cancer spreads locally through direct extension or metastatically through the blood or lymphatic system. The molecular basis of cancer involves genetic mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that deregulate cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. Important oncogenes and tumor suppressors are described.

Advancements in Cancer Research with Special Reference to Pathogenesis and Di...Rahul Kadam
Cancer is a major human and animal health problem worldwide and is the second leading cause of death in the world wide. Over the past 30 years .significant progress has been achieved in understanding the molecular basis of cancer. The accumulation of this basic knowledge has established that cancer is a variety of distinct disease and that defective gene cause this disease. Further gene defect are diverse in nature and can involve either loss or gain of gene function.
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread to other parts of the body.
## To understand how cancer develops and progresses, researchers first need to investigate the biological differences between normal cells and cancer cells. This work focuses on the mechanisms that underlie fundamental processes such as cell growth, the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells, and the spread, or metastasis, of cancer cells.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Neoplasia Clincial effects and Spread of cancer
1. NEOPLASIA
Clinical effects and spread of cancer/
Molecular basis of cancer
Dr. S. Parasuraman
Faculty of Pharmacy, AIMST University
2. Clinical effects and spread of cancer
• Management of neoplasia is based on
– Tumour-host inter-relationship
– Laboratory/ pathological diagnosis of cancer
• Tumour-host inter-relationship depends upon host response against
tumour and effect of tumour on host.
• Laboratory/ pathological diagnosis of cancer mainly focus on histological
and cytochemistry analysis
3. Clinical effects of cancer
Tumour-host inter-relationship
• Immune system can recognize tumour cells as ‘non-self’
and destroy them.
• Immune surveillance exists is substantiated by increased
frequency of cancers in immunodeficient host e.g. AIDS
patients, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.
• Tumour can produce ill-effects and this effect may be
local or generalised and more widespread. Local effects
depends on size/ location (local effects: compression,
mechanical obstruction, tissue destruction, infarction,
ulceration, haemorrhage).
4. Clinical effects of cancer
Tumour-host inter-relationship
• Systemic effect of cancer on the host
– Fever:
• Most common in Hodgkin’s disease, renal cell carcinoma and osteogenic
sarcoma
• Tumour cell themselves release pyrogens/ inflammatory cells in the tumor
stroma, can produce interleukin-1 or TNF
– Anorexia and weight loss
• Paraneoplastic syndrome of anorexia, weight loss and cachexia is very
common in patients with cancer
– Endocrine syndromes
• Cushing syndrome
• Inappropriate antidiuresis
• Hypercalcemia
• Hypoglycemia
5. Clinical effects of cancer
Tumour-host inter-relationship
• Systemic effect of cancer on the host
– Neurologic syndromes
• Spinal cord: Subacute motor neuropathy
• Peripheral nerves: Sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy
– Skeletal muscle
• Dermatomyositis or polymyositis (5-7 fold higher than normal person)
– Hematologic syndromes
• Erythrocytosis (particularly renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma,
cerebellar hemangioblastoma); Anemiab (normocytic and normochromic
anemia); leukocytes and platelets
– Malabsorption
– Renal syndromes: Nephrotic syndrome (consequence of renal vein thrombosis
or amyloidosis)
– Cutaneous syndromes (pigmented lesions and keratoses)
6. Clinical effects of cancer
Pathological diagnosis of cancer
– Histological methods
– Cytological methods
– Histochemistry and cytochemistry
– Immunohistochemistry
– Electron microscopy
– Tumour marker
– Other modern aids
• Flow cytometry
• Molecular diagnostic techniques
• DNA microarray analysis of tumour
7. Spread of cancer
Primary cancer (site of first cancer
growth)
Secondary cancer/ metastasis (spread
form primary cancer)
?
Direct extension (local spread)
Metastatic spread (through the blood
circulation, lymphatic system )
8. Spread of cancer
• Direct extension (local spread)
– Grows directly into nearby body tissues
Benign Dysplasia In-situ
Benign Dysplasia
nearby tissues
In-situ Invasive spread into
– E.g. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (metastatic ovarian carcinoma)
9. Spread of cancer
• Metastatic spread:
– Transfer of malignant cells from
one site to another through
• Hematogenous metastases
• Lymphatic metastases
Stage I: Early disease (tumour confined)
Stage II: tumour spread to movable ipsilateral
axillary nodes
Stage III: Locally advanced disease; involvement
of ipsilateral mammary lymp nodes
Stage IV: Advanced (metastatic) disease
10. Molecular basis of cancer
Cancer Cell Do Not Grow Faster Than Normal Cells
Rather, Their Growth is Just Uncontrolled
11. Molecular basis of cancer
• Cancer is genetic disease
– Non lethal Genetic damage is heart of
carcinogenisis
– Somatic mutation/in genes/ inherited in
germline of persons leads to unregulated
growth of cancer cells.
– Most of cancers results form mutations in
somatic cells
– Some cancer are caused by mutations in
germline cells
– Mutations (by environmental mutagen or as
consequence of normal cellular metabolism or
by spontaneous errors in DNA replication and
repair) in genes results in altered proteins
• During cell division
• External agents
• Random event
12. Molecular pathogenesis of cancer
• Monoclonality of tumors:
– Most of the human cancer arise form a single clone of
cell by genetic transformation or mutation. E.g. multiple
myeloma (malignant of plasma cell) – due to inactivation
of two X-chromosomes in female for G6PD isoenzyme.
• Field theory of cancer:
– Limited number of cells only grow into cancer after
undergoing sequence of changes under the influence of
etiological agents.
13. Molecular pathogenesis of cancer
• Multi-step process of cancer growth:
Carcinogenesis is multistep process at both the phenotypic and
genetic level
– A malignant neoplasm has several phenotypic attributes such
as excessive growth, local invasiveness & distant metastasis
– These characteristics are acquired in a stepwise fashion called
tumor progression
• Genetic theory of cancer:
– Cell growth of normal as well as abnormal type is under
genetic control. In cancer, there are either genetic
abnormalities in the cell, or there are normal genes with
abnormal expression.
14. Molecular basis of cancer
• Genetic regulations of normal
mitosis:
– In normal cell growth has 4
regulatory genes
– Proto-oncogenes are growthpromoting genes (they encode for
cell proliferation pathway)
– Anti-oncogenes are growthinhibiting or growth suppressor
genets
– Apoptosis regulatory genes –
control the programmed cell
death
– DNA repair gene – normal gene
regulate the repair of DNA
damage during mitosis
• In Cancer:
• Fours classes of normal
regulatory genes are the
targets of genetic damage
– Activation
promoting
of
growthoncogenes
(PDGF)
– Inactivation of cancer
suppressor genes (RB gene,
NF-1 gene, p53 gene, WT-1
gene)
– Abnormalities
apoptosis
regulatory genes (BCL-2
gene, p53 gene)
– Failure of DNA repair gene
15. Molecular basis of cancer
