Carcinoma in situ: rectosigmoid junction - what does this mean

Carcinoma in situ at the rectosigmoid junction is a condition where abnormal cells are present in the lining of the rectum and sigmoid colon, but have not yet spread to the deeper layers of the colon wall or to other organs. it is the earliest form of colon cancer and is often found during routine screening tests.

What happens during the disease - carcinoma in situ: rectosigmoid junction

Carcinoma in situ of the rectosigmoid junction is a pre-cancerous condition caused by an accumulation of genetic mutations in the cells of the rectosigmoid junction. these mutations cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass of abnormal cells that can eventually become cancerous. risk factors for this condition include a history of smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain environmental carcinogens. early detection and treatment is essential for successful management of this condition.
