Cytogenetic Findings in Cancerous and Non-Cancerous Lesions of the Digestive System

چکیده
Chromosome instability provides a predisposing background to malignancy, contributing to the crucial genetic changes in multistep carcinogenesis. It is generally accepted that cancer is a genetic disease resulting from multiple genome rearrangements. A variety of chromosomal aberrations have been identified in various cancerous and non-cancerous lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Certain aberrations observed in non-cancerous lesions were identical to those of cancerous lesion.

A PRE-CANCEROUS lesion is one which is pronie to become malignant. A comparatively large ntiml)er of lesions of this kind are recognized in superficial structures-for example, arseniical and X-ray dlermatitis, leukoplakia vulvw, leukoplakia lingu?e, chlronic cervicitis and erosion of the cervix, and "chronic cystic mastitis." Even in these lesions, however, the incidence of malignant (lisease i...
متن کاملPre-Cancerous Lesions in the Oral and Maxillofacial Region: A Literature Review with Special Focus on Etiopathogenesis
Many types of cancers develop in the oral and maxillofacial region. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer and constitutes over 90 percent of these tumors. Malignant transformation is a genetic process, which later makes a phenotyping change at the cellular level. Some cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) develop from pre-malignant lesions and conditions. Despite adv...

Abstract Background: Cancers are the second most common cause of non-accidental deaths in Iran, after cardiovascular mortality. Although most cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the USA and western populations have been attributed to high levels of exposure to tobacco and alcohol, but in Iranian populations the other risk factors especially infectious agents have been postula...
