Hallmarks of Cancer
- Self-sufficiency in growth signals - insensitivity to antigrowth signals - evading apoptosis - limitless replicative potent - sustained angiogenesis - Tissue invasion and metastasis
Anaplasia
- a regression of differentiated cells to less differentiated cells - is characteristic of tumors - Characterized by loss of organization and marked increase in nuclear sized.
Lipoma
(Fat tissue) Benign tumor
Glioma
(Glial or support cell of central nervous system) Benign Tumor
