Objectives
Learn basic information about the science of
surgical oncology:
Genetic basis of cancer
Oncogenes
Tumor suppressor genes
Tumor markers
Chemotherapy agents
Surgical Oncology
Hereditary mutations
Gene changes that come from a parent
Exist in all cells of the body, including
reproductive cells
The mutation can be passed from
generation to generation.
Also called germline mutations.
Accounts for 5% to 10% of cancers
Surgical Oncology
Acquired mutations
Most cancers are caused by acquired
mutations.
Occurs when DNA in a cell changes during
the person’s life.
Can be caused by environmental influences
such as exposure to radiation or toxins.
Not hereditary
Sporadic or somatic mutations
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Normal cellular genes (protooncogenes)
"picked up" by retroviruses, mutations
introduced that cause constitutive
activity, and inserted into cells.
Gain of function after mutational
damage.
Divided into four classes
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Class I :
growth
factors
PDGF
EGF
TGFa
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Class II-receptors
Cell surface
receptors (tyr
kinases)
fms (CSF-1 R)
erbB, neu (EGF R)
ros (insulin R)
kit (SCF R)
met (HGF R)
Intracellular
receptors
erbA (thyroid
hormone R)
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Class III-intracellular
transducers
Protein Tyr kinases
Protein Ser/Thr kinases
mos, raf
G proteins
src, yes, fes, abl, ret
ras (2nd most
commonly altered
"oncogene" in human
cancer)
Phospholipase C
crk
Surgical Oncology
Oncogenes
Class IV : nuclear
transcription factors
jun, fos, myc, myb,
ski, rel, p53
Surgical Oncology
Tumor Suppressor Genes
Defined as any gene whose loss of
function leads to tumor progression
Block cellular proliferation
Surgical Oncology
Tumor Suppressor Genes
Rb-1
inhibits the transcription factor E2F
p53
induces apoptosis of cells with damaged DNA
"watchdog" of the genome
most commonly altered "oncogene" in human
cancer
Li-Fraumeni syndrome
Surgical Oncology

oncogene)
