Q1 · Tumour Markers
NEET PGEasyExplanation
AFP is raised in hepatocellular carcinoma and yolk-sac (endodermal sinus) tumours. PSA marks prostate cancer, calcitonin marks medullary thyroid cancer and CA-125 marks ovarian cancer.
Q2 · Tumour Markers
NEET PGMediumExplanation
CA 19-9 is used to monitor pancreatic carcinoma and some biliary and gastrointestinal cancers. CA 15-3 relates to breast cancer, PSA to prostate, and beta-hCG and AFP to testicular tumours.
Q3 · Psammoma Bodies
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Psammoma bodies occur in papillary thyroid carcinoma, serous ovarian carcinoma, meningioma and papillary renal cell carcinoma. They are not a feature of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Q4 · Signet-ring Cells
NEET PGHardExplanation
Signet-ring cells are classic of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma, or linitis plastica, associated with loss of E-cadherin. They may also appear in some breast and colonic cancers.
Q5 · Benign and Malignant Tumours
EasyExplanation
Metastasis is the single most reliable indicator of malignancy; benign tumours never metastasise. Malignant tumours also show rapid growth, invasion, poor differentiation and lack of a capsule.
Q6 · Tumour Suppressor Genes
HardExplanation
p53, the guardian of the genome, arrests the cell cycle to allow DNA repair or triggers apoptosis if damage is irreparable. Loss of p53 function permits damaged cells to proliferate; it is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer.
Q7 · Routes of Metastasis
MediumExplanation
Carcinomas, being epithelial cancers, typically spread first via lymphatics to regional nodes. Sarcomas characteristically spread haematogenously. Knowing this pattern guides staging and nodal assessment.
Neoplasia sits within Pathology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 4 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Neoplasia marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Pathology examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Neoplasia set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Neoplasia sits within Pathology, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. General and systemic pathology, from cell injury and inflammation to the tumour markers and classic morphologies that appear as image and stem questions.
