Across
- 3. malignant neoplasms arising in “solid” mesenchymal tissues or its derivatives
- 6. slow-growing and localized without causing much difficulty to the host
- 8. refers to the mechanism of induction of tumors (pathogenesis of cancer)
- 9. tumors, generally consist of acini, sheets, columns or cords of epithelial tumour cells that may be arranged in solid or papillary pattern
- 11. staging, staging system can be applied for staging most malignant tumors
- 14. comprised by proliferating tumor cells determines the biologic behavior of tumor (nature and evolution)
- 15. when they proliferate rapidly, spread throughout the body and may eventually cause death of the host.
- 18. benign epithelial neoplasms producing gland patterns
- 19. means extent of spread of the tumor within the patient
- 20. lack of differentiation and is a characteristic feature of most malignant tumors
Down
- 1. supportive host-derived non-neoplastic component
- 2. carcinomas that grow in a glandular pattern
- 4. tumors, have mesenchymal tumor cells arranged as interlacing bundles, fasicles or whorls, lying separated from each other usually by the intercellular matrix substance
- 5. benign epithelial neoplasms, growing on any surface, that produce microscopic or macroscopic finger-like fronds
- 7. defined as the gross and microscopic degree of differentiation of the tumor.
- 10. agents which can induce tumors (etiology of cancer)
- 12. malignant neoplasms of epithelial cells (regardless of the tissue origin e.g. ecto-, meso-, or endoderm)
- 13. means new growth
- 16. staging, the system was developed by the UICC (Union Internationale Contre Cancer, Geneva)
- 17. a branch of science dealing with the study of neoplasms or tumors
