Question

Common Thread Connection: 1. Cancer usually takes a while to develop, as opposed to a couple of days like the virus that causes the common cold. People have multiple proto-oncogenes with overlapping areas of control over cell division. Use these two pieces of information to propose an explanation as to why cancer takes a while to develop.

1. Describe how cancer develops and spreads. 2. What changes a proto-oncogene into an oncogene? 3. How can oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes cause cancer? What is an example of an oncogene? A tumor suppressor gene? 4. Why are people more likely to get cancer as they get older? 5. What role does cell cycle control play in cancer cell formation and progression? 6. Describe how cancer can progress from abnormal cell division through to spreading to different places in the body. 7. What role does the environment play in cancer occurrence?

Imagine a cancer that is mutating to become highly metastatic. In almost all such cases, we observe tumor-induced manipulation of the host immune system. Speculate what processes relevant to an anti-cancer immune response might change in order to support tumor expansion and metastasis. Include the following facets for a full response: 1. T cell biology 2. Myeloid cell biology 3. Any other innate factor(s)

Some viruses can cause cancer by creating oncogenes. This frequently happens because: Only viruses contain genes that can convert proto-oncogenes into oncogenes Viruses contain the remainder part of the DNA that is added to the proto-oncogene to form the oncogene. Viruses specifically infect cells that contain proto-oncogenes. The proto-oncogenes are more likely to undergo mutation within a virus All of the listed are ways viruses can convert proto-oncogenes to oncogenes

00:01 This answer is for first part of the question.
00:03 Cancer develops.
00:07 Cancer.
00:08 It develops when the normal process of cell division and growth becomes uncontrolled.
00:14 So we can say it is because of uncontrolled cell division.
00:25 Uncontrolled cell division leads to the cancer...
