BIOLOGY OBJECTIVES 1.2.2
• Outline the cell cycle: Growth 1, Synthesis, Growth 2, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis• Recognize that mitosis is apart of ASEXUAL
reproduction and meiosis is a part of sexual reproduction• Organize diagrams of mitotic phases and describe
what is occurring throughout the process. • Compare mitosis to meiosis• Understand that tumors (and cancer) result in an
error in mitosis

ERROR IN MITOSIS
• Tumors result as an error in Mitosis. • Cells divide continually without stopping. This
results in a tumor. • Tumors are simply a cluster of cells. • Tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or benign
{PRONOUNCED ‘BEE-nine’} (non-cancerous)• Cells are supposed to die. This is called
apoptosis. If cells fail to die, tumors form.

WARNING:
• The following slides contain graphic images of people suffering from various cancers.• Not all tumors are malignant• Please exhibit respect, maturity, and empathy
when viewing these images.

EXAMPLES OF TUMORS
• Keep in mind that your entire body is made of cells. A tumor is a cluster of cells that have abnormal growth. • A tumor can form ANYWHERE

EXAMPLES OF TUMORS
Various Facial tumors of the nose, mouth, and eye
Cell Theory Review:
ALL LIVING THINGS are made of Cells!
A tumor can form ANYWHERE!
TUMORS = CELLS GONE WRONG!

2. Research the possible modes of treatment (next slide), and decide which is best for each of the patients.
3. Consider medical costs, insurance, and health risks.
4. What are the side effects of your chosen treatment?
5. Reviewing #1-4, tell how you would treat EACH patient.

SOME POSSIBLE TREATMENT OPTIONS
1. Surgery: to remove the tumor2. Chemotherapy: use of medicine or drugs to treat cancer. “Chem” means chemical. 3. Radiation: much like x-rays. This is a painless procedure that uses rays to kill the abnormal cell’s DNA. This could also kill normal cells.4. Homeopathic (natural) remedies: some say these methods don’t CURE cancer, but TREAT the symptoms: change in diet, exercise, cutting carbs, certain vitamins5. Stem cell treatment: after cancerous cells (and some normal cells) are destroyed using chemo and radiation, doctors use stem cells to repair ANY damaged cells.

FYI: STAGES OF CANCERStage symptomsStage 0 Carcinoma in situ. Meaning, the
most basic form of cancer. Cancer that has remained in its primary region. Ex. A breast cancer tumor that is in situ has remained in the breast tissue.
Stages 1-3 Increase in tumor size. Tumors starting to spread beyond the organ from which it developed.
Stage 4 Most severe. Cancer has metastasized (spread) to other parts of the body. This is the most aggressive stage of cancer.
