Morphological anaplasia is a condition in which tumor cells acquire a number of features characteristic of malignant tumors. One of the main signs of anaplasia is the loss of control over cell division and their ability to invade surrounding tissues.
As a result of anaplasia, tumor cells become more aggressive and invasive. They begin to rapidly multiply and spread throughout the body, which leads to the development of metastases.
Anaplasia can be caused by various factors, such as mutations in genes that regulate cell division, dysregulation of the cell cycle, activation of oncogenes, or suppression of tumor suppressor genes.
One of the most common types of anaplasia is anaplastic carcinoma, a malignant tumor that develops from epithelial cells of the skin or mucous membranes.
Diagnosis of anaplastic carcinoma is based on the presence of certain signs, such as rapid tumor growth, its invasiveness, the presence of metastases, etc. In addition, various research methods are used to diagnose anaplasia, such as tissue biopsy, immunohistochemistry, molecular genetic studies, etc.
Treatment for anaplastic carcinoma depends on its stage and location. In some cases, surgical removal of the tumor along with surrounding tissue may be performed. In other cases, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be required.
Thus, morphological anaplasia is a serious disease that requires timely detection and treatment.
