Understanding Cancer Tutorial
Information for Teachers
•  The National Cancer Institute has produced a
series of cancer related PowerPoint tutorials.
These are available as downloadable format at
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/
understandingcancer.
•  Each PowerPoint in this series includes a
teacher script. Once these have been
downloaded, you may modify the slide show and
print student handouts.

Discusses and illustrates what
cancer is, explains the link
between genes and cancer,
and discusses what is known
about the causes, detection,
and diagnosis of the disease.
These PowerPoint slides are not locked files. You can mix and match slides from
different tutorials as you prepare your own lectures. In the Notes section, you will
find explanations of the graphics.

Invasion
Cancer cells grow into
surrounding tissues
and blood vessels
Metastasis

R
What is the difference between a
benign tumor and a malignant tumor?
Benign (not cancer)
tumor cells grow
only locally and cannot
spread by invasion or
metastasis

neighboring tissues,
enter blood vessels,
and metastasize to
different sites
