As part of the study, the researchers wanted to understand how these
precancerous cells may impact neighboring cancer.
pylori therapy on the progression of
precancerous lesions have been limited by short follow-up periods.
Even without stem cells, the mice developed a
precancerous condition because mature stomach cells reverted back to a stem cell state to heal the injury.
CDx Diagnostics is an established cancer diagnostics laboratory with a specific focus on detecting the
precancerous precursors of esophageal and oral cancer.
A concern with gFOBT is the low sensitivity for detecting both CRC (25% to 38%) and
precancerous (16% to 31%) lesions with one-time testing.
They found that disrupting this normal regulation of ROS back to low levels is equivalent to pulling the brakes off of the stem cells: They will continue to make too many of themselves, which causes the cells not to mature and instead become
precancerous lesions.
73.8%, respectively) and for advanced
precancerous lesions (42.4% vs.
Leukoplakia, which is thought to be

This occurred only because the routine cervical Pap smear allowed for the detection of still-harmless but
precancerous cells known as dysplasia, which were then removed years before an actual cervical cancer could begin.
Unpublished data suggest that a class of antidiabetic drugs known as incretin mimetics may raise the risk of pancreatitis and
precancerous changes (metaplasia) in the pancreatic duct in patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.
