What is the treatment for intestinal metaplasia?
Scientists continue to research how to reverse intestinal metaplasia. Studies suggest that eliminating the bacteria responsible for intestinal metaplasia, along with long-term follow-up, the condition can be reversed.
Squamous metaplasia is how much dangerous?
In case of chronic smokers you get squamous metaplasia. That prevent outward expulsion of the dust particles and bacteria out of the respiratory tract. That enhances the chances of various dust related lung diseases and infections.
What is chronic cervicitis with squamous metaplasia?
It is a resposme to chronic infection [vaginitis] can be because of ectropion of cervix too.
What is the difference between dysplasia and metaplasia?
In dysplasia, you have early neoplastic changes. So there you have darkly stained nucleus and chromatin material is seen in many cells. Many cells seen to be in various stages of cell division. In metaplasia the type of cells is changed from one type to another. So in case of chronic smoker, you have stratified squamous epithelium is seen, instead normal cilia-ted epithelium.
Can you get rib cancer?
In a way, yes, you can indeed get rib cancer. There is a cancer called bone cancer and a rib is a bone, so, if you have bone cancer in your ribs, then you have rib cancer.
Does persistent metaplasia due to smoking can cause lung cancer?
yes it can

What has the author Murray N Silverstein written?
Murray N. Silverstein has written: 'Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia' -- subject(s): Myeloid metaplasia
I am a 36 year old male I was diagnosed with Barrett's metaplasia What is the chances that in the next five years i will get cancer?
Why don't you ask the physician who diagnosed you with Barrett's metaplasia what the future holds and what steps you should take? That should be your first step. Since you are concerned about cancer, your second step could be to get a second opinion at a major medical center that deals with your type of problem all the time. Such an example would be M.D.Anderson, Mayo Clinic, or Cleveland Clinic, or many others. Check with them.
Is itchiness a symptom of agnogenic myeloid metaplasia?
Yes
What is a protective response to a stimulus?
Metaplasia (refferig to a cell)
What is metaplasia of the stomach?
MetaplasiaMetaplasia (change in form, Greek) is the replacement of one differentiated cell type with another mature differentiated cell type. The change from one type of cell to another is generally caused by some sort of abnormal stimulus. In simplistic terms, it is as if the original cells are not robust enough to withstand the new environment, and so they change into another type more suited to the new environment. If the stimulus that caused metaplasia is removed or ceases, tissues return to their normal pattern of differentiation. CausesThere are three main theories as to how metaplasia occurs:Differentiated cells may change their pattern of differentiation in a process termed transdifferentiation.Local stem cells, which are believed to generate new cells in most tissues, become reprogrammed by the changed environment to form a new form of cell.Circulating stem cells in the blood, which are recognised to colonise tissues, may start to grow in damaged tissues and produce a new form of cell.TreatmentThe medical significance of metaplasia is that in some sites cells may progress from metaplasia, to develop dysplasia, and then neoplasia (cancer). Thus, at sites where metaplasia is detected, efforts are made to remove the causative irritant, thereby decreasing the risk of progression to malignancy. The metaplastic area must be carefully monitored to ensure that dysplastic change does not begin to occur. A progression to significant dysplasia indicates that the area could need removal to prevent the development of cancer.
Is intestinal metaplasia dangerous?
diagnosis ulcerated gastric hyperplastic poly with focal intestinal metaplasia with lymphoplasmactic infiltrate also gastric oxyntic-type mucosa with lymphoid aggregate what does this mean
Is metaplasia reversible?
No it's reversible once injurious stimulus is removed.
