1 THE CANCER/MITOSIS CONNECTION
2 All cells have a controlled rate of division that is appropriate for their role in the body.
3 Rates of Division ex. The cells of the skin reproduces perfectly so that it does not become too thin or too thick
4 Rates of Division Ex. Cells that line the intestine complete the cell cycle in hours
5 Rates of Division Ex. Liver cells reproduce only once a year (if that)
6 Rates of Division Ex. Some Nerve cells barely ever reproduce
7 Rates of Division Ex. Frog embryo cells reproduce in less than an hour
8 Rates of Division Cells spend most of their time in interphase. The mechanism for cell growth is highly regulated by genes (segments of DNA) in the cell so that you only get the new cells you need.
9 Rates of Division If the control mechanism for this process gets messed up, the rate of mitosis in that body tissue increases
10 Cell Cycle Control Genes The cell cycle has checkpointswhere the cell will make sure all requirements are met before moving on to the next stage.
11 Cell Cycle Control Genes Specific genes in a cell control how fast the cell cycle progress.
12 Cell Cycle Control Genes Oncogenes- speed up cell division. They are like the accelerator in a car. If these get mutated, it is like getting the accelerator in a car stuck. The cell will not stop dividing.
13 Cell Cycle Control Genes Tumor Suppressor Genes- slow down cell division. They are the brakes of the cell. If they get mutated it is like cutting the brakes in a car. The cell will not stop dividing.
14 Increased Mitosis Leads to Accumulation of cells in that area known as a TUMOR
15 Increased Mitosis Leads to CANCER A disorder of cells in which the genes which control growth have been damaged and the cells have the ability to spread throughout the body. Ovary Cancer Cell
16 Causes of cancer: Viruses Chemicals (such as Nicotine, Benzene, Asbestos) Ultraviolet radiation Genetics
17 The ozone absorbs some, but not all of the types of UV radiation: UVA: Not absorbed by the ozone layer. UVB: Mostly absorbed by the ozone, but some does reach the Earth s surface. UVC: Completely absorbed by the ozone layer and oxygen. UVA and UVB that reach the Earth s surface contribute to serious health effects.
18 Causes of Cancer: These are called CARCINOGENS: cancercausing agents (also called MUTAGENS) Exposure to these Carcinogens is cumulative, meaning the longer you re exposed the greater your risk. Carcinogens attack DNA and mutate the genes that controls cell division These control genes are called ONCOGENES
19 Skin Cancer and Tanning
20 Cancer Statistics Skin Cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S.- it makes up ½ of all cancers % of Americans who live to 65 will have skin cancer at least once.
21 Cancer Statistics Incidence of skin cancer is 20 times higher in Caucasians than African- Americans. Most of the damage that leads to skin cancer happens before the age 18. -American Cancer Society
22 Cancer Statistics Although it is the most common type of cancer, skin cancer makes up for less than 1% of cancer deaths. People who use tanning equipment are 2.5 times more likely to develop skin cancer. -Journal of National Cancer Institute
23 Kinds of tumors: BENIGN: Harmless because do not spread to other tissues of the body Ex. Warts (caused by a virus)
24 Kinds of tumors: MALIGNANT: = CANCER Very dangerous Spreads to different kinds of tissues (called METASTISIS) interferes with organ function
25
26 Cancer Cancer cells do not carry on normal functions, all their energy goes into dividing. They also use up the nutrients for cells so they can t do their job as well.
27 Cancer Treatments Surgery: removal of cancerous cells, hopefully before it can spread. Radiation Therapy: burn and/or kill all cells in the area
28 Cancer Treatments Chemotherapy: medication that destroy all rapidly dividing cells (including cells that grow hair, line the gut, produce sperm, produce nails, produce blood cells)
29 So There are many different forms of cancer, all with varying threat levels to a person s health. A person s susceptibility and ability to fight cancer depend on their health, physical activities, heredity, the environment they live in and access to health care. In short, Cancer, in all its various forms, is uncontrolled cell division that leads to a tumor with the ability to spread to different tissues in the body.
A factor which brings about a mutation is called a mutagen. Any agent that causes cancer is called a carcinogen and is described as carcinogenic.
Cancer Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the developed world: 1 in 4 deaths are due to cancer 1 in 17 deaths are due to lung cancer Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men Breast cancer
