“Cancer Cell Phenotypes, in Fifty Shades of Grey”
Science Perspective in Cancer
Distinct Clonal Populations within a single tumor respond to signals and to chemotherapy differently from
one another leading to differential clonal evolution and clonal survival .
These differences are not based solely on genetic heterogeneity.
Epigenetic differences and tumor micro-environment affect clonal heterogeneity.
Other unknown factors may support heterogeneity.
See accompanying research article conclusions, pp 543 to 548.
Progressive Steps in Neoplastic Cell Development:
Hyperplasia and Dysplasia
Anaplasia
Progressive Steps in Neoplastic Cell Development:
Cancer In situ and Invasive Cancer
Anaplastic Cells

Definitions and Concepts of Progression in
Neoplasia
Transitions in Cancer Development:
• Hyperplasia
• Dysplasia
• Anaplasia
• Pre-neoplastic nodules
• Carcinoma (or other histogenetic type) in situ
• Malignant neoplasia
Gradual Acquisition of Fully Neoplastic Character
"Acquisition of permanent, irreversible, qualitiative
changes in one or more characteristics of a
neoplasm“
= Progression

Note decline

rate in the
“Super-Old”
A series of successive steps must be achieved before a cancer can appear.
Each of these steps may take 10 or 15 years to complete.
The rate of completing these steps can be accelerated by:
a. Genetics of the host
b. Exposure to carcinogens
c. Diet and Life-Style
d. Hormonal status

Duration of exposure to carcinogenic agent is driving force in generating
mesothelioma from asbestos exposure.
Age at first exposure is not relevant.

Patterns of Progression in Neoplasia
• Permanent, irreversible changes; independent of other
tumor cells in the developing neoplasm
• Different characteristics within the tumor progress
separately and independently
• Pathways and sequences of steps vary in unpredictable and
divergent ways
• Progression need not be associated with tumor growth
• Progression converges toward similar end-product
neoplastic cells, but by diverse routes.
Implications and Consequences of
Progression in Cancer
• For the biology of carcinogenesis
• As an underlying cause for long latent periods
• For screening human populations for cancers
• For defining the "Biology of a Cancer"
• For cancer diagnosis
• For cancer treatment

• Chromosome Numbers
• Chromosome Structures (Visible Microscopically, or
Detectible by Molecular Biology)

What is Happening During Those Years
When Changes are Accumulating?
Why does the frank neoplasia outgrowth
take so long?
Can we slow down the rate of progression
to forestall the disease or stop it altogether?
Representative Times to Full Neoplastic Progression for
Cancers of Various Histogenetic Sites of Origin
CIS = carcinoma in situ
CIN = Cervical Intra-epithelial neoplasia.
DCIS = Ductal carcinoma in situ

Basis or Source of Progression Patterns
Acquired, Self-perpetuating genetic lability
• Cytological anaplasia at the chromosome level.
• Genetic instability inherent in the original cell lineage
that became transformed.
• Genetic instability induced in the transformed cells.
Immortalization and gradual accrual of additional
genetic anomalies
Fusion of normal and transformed cells
Failure to repair damaged DNA
Selective Survival of Aberrant Cells
• Evolution toward increased autonomy
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in Chromosomes in Human Colon-rectal Cancer
Why is loss of heterozygosity extra-ordinarily common in chromosomes 17 and 18?
Why does losing something lead to cancer?
How can losing cancer genes lead to increased cancer?

Acts immediately below the cell membrane in transducing growth factor
signaling from outside the cell and transmitting it to the nucleus.

• Poorly differentiated cells may become increasingly aggressive
