Pathological definitions and characteristics of stage T1 prostate cancer

Abstract:
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) defines T1 prostate cancers as clinically inapparent tumors not palpable or visible by imaging. Given the use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), more of these incidental carcinomas are being detected by needle biopsy as part of a work-up for an increased PSA. However, the pathological characteristics and the biological potential of these tumors are quite variable. This chapter summarizes some of the recent literature describing pathobiological features of T1 tumors, their subclassification, and the problems encountered in diagnosing these carcinomas.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
