NEOPLASIA Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. TP53
    Which tumor suppressor gene is commonly called the “guardian of the genome”?
  2. PROTO-ONCOGENE
    A normal gene involved in cell growth that can become cancer-promoting after mutation or inappropriate activation is called a:
  3. EXPANSILE GROWTH
    What type of growth pattern is characteristic of many benign tumors?
  4. DISTANT METASTASIS
    In TNM, what does M represent?
  5. CARCINOMA
    A malignant neoplasm derived from epithelial cells is called a:
  6. PRIMARY TUMOR SIZE
    In TNM, what does T primarily represent?
  7. PAPILLOMA
    A benign epithelial tumor producing finger-like or wart-like projections is called a:
  8. METASTASIS
    Malignant cells establish a secondary tumor in the liver after originating in the colon. What is this called?
  9. TERATOMA
    A tumor containing tissues derived from more than one germ cell layer is called a:
  10. STAGE
    What describes the extent of spread of cancer throughout the body?
  11. ONCOGENE
    What is the activated form of a proto-oncogene that promotes uncontrolled proliferation?
  12. METASTASIS
    What major feature is absent in typical benign neoplasms?
  13. ANGIOGENESIS
    What process allows a growing tumor to develop its own blood supply?
  14. ENCAPSULATION
    What feature may separate a benign tumor from the surrounding normal tissue?
  15. INVASION
    A malignant epithelial tumor penetrates through the basement membrane into the underlying stroma. What process has occurred?
  16. BENIGN
    A tumor is well circumscribed, slow growing, and remains localized. What type of neoplasm is this?
  17. BASEMENT MEMBRANE
    What structure must an epithelial carcinoma breach to become invasive?
  18. DESMOPLASIA
    A carcinoma is surrounded by dense collagenous fibrous tissue produced in response to the tumor. What is this called?
  19. SARCOMA
    A malignant neoplasm derived from mesenchymal tissue is called a:

  23. REGIONAL LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT
    In TNM, what does N represent?
  24. GRADE
    What describes the degree of differentiation and cytologic aggressiveness of a tumor?
