“The world in which you were 
born is just one model of reality. 
Other cultures are not failed 
attempts at being you; they are 
unique manifestations of the 
human spirit, Just like you!”

Neoplasia 
Neoplasia: 
• Neo + Plasia  New + Growth. 
• Tumour  Swelling  any swelling* 
• Clinically tumour = neoplasm (technically incorrect..!) 
• Willis definition: 
“A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue, the growth 
of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the 
normal tissue and persists in the same manner after 
cessation of the stimuli which evoked the change” 
• “Cell division without control” 
• Irreversible DNA damage, resulting in 
autonomous growth of abnormal cells *
Neoplasia 
Cell population / Growth Control: 
• Proliferation  Differentiation  Apoptosis * Normal

• Poorly differentiated 
• Rapid growth 
• Non Cohesive,

Neoplasia 
Nomenclature: exceptions 
• Teratoma – Tumour of Germ cell – multiple tissues. Benign 
(mature) or malignant (immature) 
• Melanoma (Melano-carcinoma) – Malignancy of 
melanocytes. 
• Seminoma (Seminal carcinoma) –carcinoma of Testes. 
• Leukemia – white blood – Ca. of Haemopoietic stem cells. 
• Lymphoma (Lymphosarcoma)– Malignancy of lymphocytes. 
• Mixed Tumours: Both epithelial & connective tissue 
components. Pleomorphic adenoma (Salivary gland) & 
Carcinosarcoma (breast/uterus) 
What is a Granuloma, Hamartoma & Choristoma?
The searching out and thorough 
investigation of truth ought to 
be the primary study of man.

Cancer Clinical Features 
Cancer Biology
Neoplasia 
Cancer Biology: 
• Structure: 
– Parenchyma – Neoplastic cells. 
– Stroma: Non neoplastic - normal DNA 
• Features: 
– Differentiation – Maturation of cells. 
– Rate of Growth – Mitotic rate / Ki 67 
– Local invasion – Hemorrhage, necrosis, destruction 
– Metastasis – Distant Spread.

• Tumors are clonal (one parent) 
• But have different mutations  different 
shapes & features. 
• Each new mutation adds a new feature. 
Malignant cells 
Normal

Fourth or 
Third 
mutation 
later mutation 
Second 
mutation 
First

More new mutations with time.
Neoplasia 
6 Features of Cancer cells: 
Clinically each patient’s 
cancer has a different 
mix of features 
depending on quality & 
quantity of mutations 
& changes with time...!

Neoplasia: 
Retrograde evolution…! 
Embryo Cancer 
Self growth 
auto regulation 
Limitless potential 
Angiogenesis

• Local Invasion 
• Metastasis 
• Bronchial Epith. 
• Mitotic rate – grade. 
– Low, Intermediate, high

• Tumour Stage.. 1,2,3,4. 
• Distant Spread.. 
DIAGNOSIS: (Lung cancer)

“Our character is but the 
stamp on our souls of the free 
choices of good and evil we 
have made through life. 
-- John C. Geikie
“Good & Evil, Happiness and Misery, 
Merit and sin depend on our actions. 
As is the action, so is the result. It is 
easy & fun to indulge in sinful deeds 
but it is extremely painful to bear the 
results they yield” 
Karma - You reap what you sow! 
-- Baba
If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite..! 
“Cultural supremacy, indeed, is a fire burning 
over the earth, taking with it plants and animals, 
cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary 
wisdom. Quelling this flame, and re-inventing the 
poetry of diversity is perhaps the most important 
challenge of our times.” 
― Wade Davis
