Biology Of Tissue Response To Disease

Inflammation, including cells and mediators

• Acute inflammation and mediator systems
• Vascular response to injury, including mediators
• Inflammatory
  
  cell recruitment, including adherence and cell migration, and phagocytosis
• Bactericidal mechanisms and tissue injury
• Clinical manifestations (eg, pain, fever, leukocytosis, leukemoid reaction, and chills)
• Chronic inflammation

Reparative processes

• Wound healing, hemostasis, and repair: thrombosis, granulation tissue, angiogenesis, fibrosis, scar/keloid formation
• Regenerative processes

Neoplasia

• Classification,
  histologic diagnosis
• Grading and staging of neoplasms
• Cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of neoplastic cells: transformation, oncogenes, altered cell differentiation, and proliferation
• Hereditary neoplastic disorders
• Invasion and metastasis
• Tumor immunology
• Paraneoplastic manifestations of cancer
• Cancer epidemiology and prevention
