Malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of oesophagus - what does this mean
Malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus is a type of cancer in which abnormal cells grow in the oesophagus, forming a mass or lesion that can overlap and grow into nearby tissues. it is usually caused by genetic mutations that occur in the cells of the oesophagus, leading to the uncontrolled growth of the cells.
What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of oesophagus
Malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus is caused by abnormal growth of cells in the oesophagus, resulting in a lesion. this lesion can cause the cells to multiply rapidly and spread to other areas of the body, leading to an overlapping lesion of the oesophagus. this can cause difficulty in swallowing, pain, and other symptoms. if left untreated, the cancer can spread to other organs and tissues, leading to more serious complications.
