field cancerization

Field carcinogenesis Molecular oncology The constellation of locoregional changes triggered by long-term exposure of a field of tissue to a carcinogen; FC may induce CA, CIS or dysplasia, which can be recognized histologically; the remaining 'field,' despite adequate resection, is grossly normal but more susceptible to future CA; FC occurs in any embryologic tissue–eg, colorectal, breast ducts, bladder, bronchial, laryngeal epithelia, and aerodigestive tract in tobacco exposure. See 'Cancerization.'.
