• Benign tissue is not cancer. Although the cell growth is moderately increased, the cells do not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body
• Malignant tissue is cancer. The cancer cells divide out of control. They can invade and destroy nearby healthy tissue. Also, cancer cells can break away from the tumor they form and enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system
• Metastasis: the spread of cancer beyond the organ of origin

History of Chemical Carcinogenesis
• Chemical carcinogenesis was first suggested by clinicians 200 years ago– Scrotal cancer in chimney sweeps - Potts– Nasal cancer and snuff dipping - Hill– Today, >50 chemicals are recognized as
human carcinogens
• First experimental studies in animals were done ~80 years ago
![Page 7: Carcinogenesis - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill · History of Chemical Carcinogenesis ... Environmental Agents Free Radicals Polymerase Errors CELL REPLICATION. Chemical](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032712/5b8348df7f8b9a23668cc1a1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Large numbers of chemicals were tested for carcinogenic potential in the 1970-1990s– Maximum Tolerated Doses (MTD) were used.– 60% of rodent carcinogens were genotoxic– 40% of rodent carcinogens were nongenotoxic– Some chemicals were single site, single species
carcinogens– Others were multisite, multispecies carcinogens– Dose-response varies from <1/2 MTD to <1/1000 MTD
• Most regulations use straight mathematical extrapolation of high dose rodent data to predict risks

Multiple Stages of Human Colon Cancer
• It is estimated that by age 70, 50% of the population at large have acquired pre-cancerous adenomas in the colon; 10% of this group will progress to malignancy in the following 10 years.
• Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is linked to the APC gene whose protein is involved in ß-catenin signaling. The gene acts as a tumor suppressor, and the loss of function mutation causes development of hundreds to thousands of adenomas, with a consequent high risk of progression to malignancy.
• Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Carcinoma (HNPCC) is a hereditary predisposition to carcinoma without the prior accumulation of adenoma. HNPCC is caused by a germ line mutation in one set of genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair. To date, there are five genes known to be responsible for causing HNPCC: MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS1 and PMS2. To date, 90% of the inherited mutations in HNPCC are in MSH2 or MLH1.
• Sporadic colorectal cancer (i.e., cancer that occurs without any familial predisposition to the disease) is associated with a variety of risk factors. The most prevalent risk factors, besides a personal or family history of colorectal and specific other cancers, are inflammatory bowel disease and age. Most sporadic colorectal cancers occur in women and men over the age of 50. Additional risk factors include diet, less than moderate exercise, and obesity

APC protein (Adenomatous Polyposis Coli) is normally expressed in colorectal epithelial cells, a site of relatively high natural proliferation rates. The epithelium is convoluted into deep recesses called crypts and projections called villi. Crypts contain stem cells for tissue replacement, and the base of the crypt is a site of high mitotic activity. As cells age, they progress up the villus to the tip.
