Carcinoma in situ of the digestive organ occurs when abnormal cells form in the inner lining of the digestive organ and spread to the surrounding tissue. these cells have not yet invaded other parts of the body, but they can become cancerous if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - carcinoma in situ: digestive organ, unspecified
Carcinoma in situ of the digestive organ is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the lining of the organ. this growth is caused by genetic mutations that can be inherited, caused by environmental factors, or the result of a combination of both. these mutations cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass that can invade and damage the surrounding tissue. if left untreated, the cancer cells could spread to other parts of the body.
