Dysplasia
Dysplasia refers to the presence of abnormal cells within a tissue or organ. While dysplasia is not cancer, it can be a precursor to cancer.
Key points about dysplasia:
- Dysplastic cells look abnormal under a microscope and differ from normal cells in size, shape, and organization.
- Dysplasia can occur in various tissues of the body, including the skin, cervix, and colon.
- It is often categorized as mild, moderate, or severe, based on the extent of abnormality and the potential for progression to cancer.
- Regular monitoring and medical evaluation are important to manage and treat dysplasia effectively.
