17 History of cancer The earliest known descriptions of cancer appear in seven papyri contain descriptions of cancer written around 1600 B.C., and are believed to date from sources as early as 2500 B.C. Hippocrates (ca. 460 BC ca. 370 BC) described several kinds of cancer, referring to them with the Greek word carcinos (crab or crayfish), among others.[1] This name comes from the appearance of the cut surface of a solid malignant tumour, with "the veins stretched on all sides as the animal the crab has its feet, whence it derives its name".[2] Since it was against Greek tradition to open the body, Hippocrates only described and made drawings of outwardly visible tumors on the skin, nose, and breasts. Treatment was based on the humor theory of four bodily fluids (black and yellow bile, blood, and phlegm). According to the patient's tumor, treatment consisted of diet, blood-letting, and/or laxatives. Through the centuries it was discovered that cancer could occur anywhere in the body, but tumor-theory based treatment remained popular until the 19th century with the discovery of cells. Celsus (ca. 25 BC - 50 AD) translated carcinos into the Latin cancer, also meaning crab. Galen (2nd century AD) called benign tumours oncos, Greek for swelling, reserving Hippocrates' carcinos for malignant tumours. He later added the suffix -oma, Greek for swelling, giving the name carcinoma. [Wikipedia] Hum 2014/15 17

26 What are Oncogenes? proto-oncogene is a normal gene that can become an oncogene due to mutations or increased expression. Proto-oncogenes code for proteins that help to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Proto-oncogenes are often involved in signal transduction and execution of mitogenic signals, usually through their protein products. Upon activation, a proto-oncogene (its product) becomes a tumor-inducing agent, an oncogene. Examples of proto-oncogenes include RAS, WNT, MYC, ERK, and TRK. Activation: The proto-oncogene can become an oncogene by a relatively small modification of its original function. 1. Mutation 2. Amplification 3. Translocation 4. Virus Hum 2014/15 26

33 What are Tumor Suppressor Genes? A tumor suppressor gene is a gene that protects a cell from one step on the path to cancer. A Mutation in this gene that to cause a loss or reduction in its function, the cell can progress to cancer, usually in combination with other genetic changes. Tumor-suppressor genes, or more precisely, the proteins for which they code, either have a dampening or repressive effect on the regulation of the cell cycle or promote apoptosis, and sometimes do both. The functions of tumor-suppressor proteins fall into several categories including the following: Repression of genes that are essential for the continuing of the cell cycle. If these genes are not expressed, the cell cycle will not continue, effectively inhibiting cell division. Coupling the cell cycle to DNA damage As long as there is damaged DNA in the cell, it should not divide. If the damage can be repaired, the cell cycle can continue. If the damage cannot be repaired, the cell should initiate apoptosis (programmed cell death) to remove the threat it poses for the greater good of the organism. Some proteins involved in cell adhesion prevent tumor cells from dispersing, block loss of contact inhibition, and inhibit metastasis. These proteins are known as metastasis suppressors. Hum 2014/15 33
34 Two-hit hypothese Suppressor genes generally follow the 'two-hit hypothesis', which implies that both alleles that code for a particular gene must be affected before an effect is manifested. This is due to the fact that if only one allele for the gene is damaged, the second can still produce the correct protein. Hum 2014/15 34
35 Two-hit hypothesis Hum 2014/15 35
36 Tumor supressor genes are: - genetically recessive but - clinically dominant Hum 2014/15 36

Hum 2014/15 40
41 Hereditary Colon Cancer Diagnosis: Mutations in gene MSH2 oder MLH1 leads to DNA replication errors! Most of the tumors display genomic instability, Microsatellite Instability (MSI). Tumores with instable Microsatellites have a loss of function in both alleles of MSH2 or MLH1 (LOH) HNPCC Patients show also a higher incidence of cancers in other organs: uterus, ovaries, stomach, small intestine, urinary and bilary tract, also skin and brain. Hum 2014/15 41
42 Amsterdam criteria The following clinical criteria were established in 1991 to facilitate consistency in research. The criteria are now applied in diagnosing Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC): 3 or more cases of colorectal cancer in a minimum of 2 generations 1 affected individual should be first-degree to the other cases of colorectal cancer 1 case of colorectal cancer should be diagnosed under age 50 A diagnosis of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) should be excluded The criteria have since been modified - summary below: 2 cases of colorectal cancer where families are small (one age under 55) 2 cases of colorectal cancer and 1 case of endometrial cancer, or other early onset cancer Hum 2014/15 42
