precancerous

What are Some Common Precancerous Conditions?

1. Cervical Dysplasia: This condition involves abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix. It is often associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and can range from mild to severe.
2. Endometrial Hyperplasia: This condition is characterized by the thickening of the endometrial lining of the uterus. It can be caused by an excess of estrogen without progesterone and may lead to endometrial cancer if untreated.
3. Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VIN): This condition involves abnormal cells on the surface of the vulva and can be a precursor to vulvar cancer.
4. Ovarian Dysplasia: Although less common, abnormal cells can also develop in the ovaries, potentially leading to ovarian cancer.
