Suggest Treatment For Colorectal Cancer
Question: My husband has colorectal cancer. His biopsy report says he has an adenocarcinoma with high grade dysplasia. It does not say anything about differentiation. Does high grade dysplasia mean that he has a high grade tumor, aka poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma?
Brief Answer:
It has nothing to do with poor tumor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the details. So dysplasia is a stage prior to development of full blown tumor.
The significance of dysplasia associated with an adenocarcinoma is nothing as such. Dysplasia also does not correlate with poor differentiation.
Poorly differentiate tumors are of significance only when they are seen in early stage disease.In those cases, chemotherapy is must if poor differentiation is seen.
Thanks and regards
