100

initiating apoptosis through death receptors or mitochondrial

 What is extrinsic and intrinsic pathways?

100

Due to this mutation in this cancer cells continue to divide and avoid cell death

What is G1 and P53

100

The rapidly dividing cells that move deeper into the tissue and other organs

what is metastasizes

100

Cancer cells travel through this body system to reach other organs

What is epithelial cells

100

 To achieve growth the tumor cells secrete proteins to stimulate blood vessels.

What is how tumor cells stimulate blood vessel growth as they expand

200

In between what stages does DNA go through apoptosis if damaged?

What is Between G2 and M

200

Resistance to apoptosis

What is the overexpression of anti-apoptotic protein

200

facilitate the breakdown of the matrix allowing cancer cells to invade the tissue

what is the role of enzyme matrix's 

200

 tumor cells weakly attaching and rolling along the vessel lining until securely attached

What is how tumor cells attach and enter new tissues?

200

, the formation of leaky and disorganized vessels in tumors, and the promotion of interaction between cancer cells and vascular endothelial cells

what is the role  VEGF plays in creating new blood vessels?

300

in this phase of the cell cycle where cells can enter and exit and are not actively dividing

What is the G0 phase?

300

Caused by mutation what is being overproduced that helps initiate a cascade of events to regulate the cell cycle

What is ligands?

300

Tumor cells migrate toward the blood vessels they breakdown the basement membrane surrounding the vessels

What is tumor cells interaction with the extracellular matrix

300

 entering the bloodstream and/or lymphatic system to initiate new tumors in other parts of the body

what is the tumor breaks from the main tumor

300

 The prevention of endothelial cells that form blood vessels

what is targeting VEGF and its receptors to inhibit further spreading

400

This prevents uncontrolled cell division by halting the cell cycle.

what is p53?

400

mutation of this gene leads to abnormal activation of the signaling pathways they control

What is Proto-oncogenes

400

leaving an open pathway that allows for less aggressive cells to invade the tissue and grow

what is the aggression of the tumor cells?

400

mutation of this inhibits apoptosis and allows cancer cells to metastasize

what is CDKs

400

cell express proteins to allow the new blood vessels to form growth of new vessels in the tumor

What is new blood vessels facilitate continued tumor growth?

500

They push the cell cycle through acting as checkpoints

What is the role of CDKS

500

these genes act as brakes and when mutated remove the inhibition on cell division and growth

What is tumor suppressor genes

500

This begins the invasions of tumor cells causing the cells to spread and infect other parts of the body

what is loss of cell adhension

500

 fight cancer by blocking the growth factor(VEGF) receptors from working by blocking the receptors

What is monoclonal antibodies?

500

Proliferation of the blood vessels can induce

what is the breakdown of the extracellular matrix
