What Are the Common Findings in Initial Screening?
During initial screening, pathologists look for various signs of disease:
- Dysplasia: Abnormal cell growth that can be a precursor to cancer. - Hyperplasia: Increased cell production, which can be benign or indicate an underlying issue. - Neoplasia: New, uncontrolled cell growth, often indicative of tumors. - Inflammation: Presence of immune cells that can point to infections or autoimmune diseases.
