Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites - what does this mean
Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites is a type of pre-cancerous lesion that occurs when abnormal cells grow in the innermost layer of the tissue of an organ or other body part. it is a localized form of cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and is usually found early on in the course of the disease.
What happens during the disease - carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites
Carcinoma in situ of other and unspecified sites is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the epithelium, which is the tissue that lines the organs and other parts of the body. it is caused by a mutation in the dna of these cells that causes them to grow and divide uncontrollably. this abnormal growth can spread to nearby tissue and organs, and if left untreated, can eventually lead to the development of a more aggressive form of cancer.
