- 5. These are clinical conditions/syndromes that result when neoplastic cells release biologically active substances.
- 10. Quantification of the histological features of a neoplasm in order to provide a histological prognosis.
- 12. A benign neoplasm of glandular (secretory) epithelial cells.
- 13. The steps by which a normal cell is transformed into a neoplastic cell.
- 15. Substances or agents that produce, in exposed individuals, an incidence of neoplasia greater than that in those who are not exposed.
- 16. A benign neoplasm of squamous (non-secretory) epithelial cells.
- 17. The process by which normal somatic cells are transformed (mutated) into cells that are no longer under the control of the body in which they are growing.
- 18. Refers to variable morphology of the cells constituting a specific neoplasm.
- 20. The failure of a neoplastic cell to differentiate (mature).
- 21. The spread of neoplastic cells from a tumour to a distant organ/tissue.
- 23. A malignant neoplasm arising from a connective tissue cell.
- 24. A neoplasm that has the potential to metastasise.
- 25. These are genes that are involved in the expression of the neoplastic phenotype.
- 26. Sensitisation of a cell to subsequent neoplastic transformation by means of the application of a chemical carcinogen.

- 1. The process by which a normal cell in the body is changed into a neoplastic cell in that body.
- 2. A malignant neoplasm arising from an epithelial cell.
- 3. Application of a different chemical carcinogen to a sensitised cell, causing it to transform into a pre-neoplastic cell.
- 4. A neoplasm that does not metastasise.
- 6. The process by which a neoplasm becomes vascularised.
- 7. This is the establishment of a neoplasm at a new site following the release of tumour cells from a neoplasm into a body cavity.
- 8. An attempt to predict the future course and outcomes of a disease or disease process.
- 9. The spread of neoplastic cells from the tumour into the surrounding tissues.
- 11. Excessive production of the fibrous component of the stroma of a neoplasm.
- 14. A proliferative lesion composed of mutated cells no longer under the contol of the body in which they are growing. [Neoplasm = Tumour]
- 19. The steps in oncogenesis that lead to the transformation of a pre-neoplastic cell to a neoplastic cell.
- 22. An attempt to classify neoplasms according to their clinical progression.
