Abstract:
Pathology of gynecological malignancies including cancers of the uterus and ovary were described with a particular focus on early stage cancers and borderline lesions. Histological criteria appeared in this paper are mentioned in accordance with The General Rules for Clinical and Pathological Management of Uterine Cervical Cancer and Uterine Body Cancer and WHO Classification of Ovarian Tumours. Carcinogenesis of the uterine and ovarian cancers were also discussed.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

01:24Cellular Adaptation IV: Dysplasia and Metaplasia
DysplasiaDysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells, characterized by pleomorphism, nuclear abnormalities, and increased mitotic activity. It commonly affects epithelial tissues, including the cervix, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory mucosa, and endometrium. Although it may occur alongside hyperplasia, dysplasia is not a true adaptive response but a preneoplastic change with potential to progress to cancer.When confined above the basement...
