Malignancy is a separate stage in the development of diseases, to which more than one article of medical reference books is devoted. Her research continues, because it is this stage - the beginning of the development of a cancerous tumor, and the cancer is still studied by specialists and seek to deduce the correct formula of medicines that can cure this dangerous and fatal disease.
Malignancy of the polyp is a whole process of transition from a benign stage to a malignant one. Thus, this word refers to the change and development of cells that assume a precancerous character. What is the main cause of malignant polyps? First of all, it should be said that the whole process is based on the genetic failure of the program for the formation of a specialized phenotype of cells and their increased separation. Simply put, in this process there is a fairly rapid proliferation of cells, epithelium and tissue in general. As a result, such a rapid expansion of tissue leads to the development of a tumor.
It is worth knowing that at the initial stage of malignancy of the polyp, nothing will be felt by a person. This process is affected not only by growths, but also by ulcers and benign tumors, so people with similar diseases should be examined as often as possible from professionals.
There are many assumptions about the causes of the polyp's malignancy. But, nevertheless, these are just assumptions. It is known only that the emergence of such a disease affects the adverse conditions that are divided into external and internal. External factors affecting the development of cancer cells:
- Incorrect and irregular nutrition. The ingestion of a large number of carcinogens, preservatives, banned stabilizers, dyes and transgenic products.
- Environment.
- Exposure to chemical active substances.
- Frequent X-ray irradiation.
Internal factors of malignancy of polyps:
- Hormonal failures.
- Inflammation of chronic diseases( eg, chronic gastritis).
- Stressful situations, apathy, depression and nervous breakdowns.
- Viral and fungal lesions.
- Disorders of the endocrine system.
- Weakened immunity.
- Hereditary predisposition to cancer development.
Signs of malignancy of polyps
One definition of malignancy does not work out to understand the whole picture, it is worth paying attention to the signs. For example, polyps are localized in different organs of the human body and already proceeding from where malignancy began to form a certain symptomatology. Yet there are common signs that are suitable for any place where such a pathology is developed. Symptoms:
- Metastasis.
- Activation of cells that perform a division function.
- Violation of the genetic program.
- Cell polymorphism.
- The structure of the cells is also subject to change and in consequence and their functioning.
- Antagonistic features of cancer cells.
Malignant polyp of the rectum
As already known, polyps are a benign formation localized on the mucous membrane of a particular organ. They are localized wherever there is a mucous, thus GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT is not an exception. First of all, their stomachs, intestines, rectum and large intestine are often exposed to them.
A malignant polyp is often a phenomenon that leads to benign tumors in the precancerous stage - adenocarcinoma. The level of malignancy for each organ is formed in different ways.
In the case of the intestine, the most dangerous formations undergoing such a degeneration are villous polyps and adenomas. Adenomas are determined by such a level of degeneration, which vary from 5 to 75%.Colorectal cancer in 95% of cases occurs from adenomatous and villous tumors within 5-15 years. In this case, great importance is attached to malignant polyps of the rectum, grown and reached more than 2 cm. In this case, the transition to the malignant stage increases several times.
