Abstract:
Morphological changes of tubular adenomas with severe dysplasia are charachterized by low level of cytodifferentiation, epithelial cells intensive proliferation, detected by 3Н-Thymidine and markedly reduction of goblet cells. Functional activity of tumor parenchyma decreases with change in ATP-ase activity. The quantity of young form fibroblasts is markedly increased in adenomous stroma, which caused a disturbance of fibrillogenesis. The local immunologic response was suppressed, the activity of T-suppressors was increased. The morphology of endotheliocytes and vascular network was changed. It is concluded that, adenomas with severe dysplasia are the risk factors for the carcinoma "in situ" development; microadenomas and adenomas are the essence of a single pathological process based on dysplastic changes. It is suggested that colonic microadenomas, are the causes the rudiments of forthcoming adenoma, and in some cases may lead to malignization.

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...
