The increased dysplasia score in stimulated and genetic risk ... neoplastic transformation, and may justify the use of the term dysplasia or intraepithelial ovarian neoplasia. The observation of dysplasia in the stimulated group may differentiate women at risk. Conversely, the fact that the dysplasia profile after stimulation differs from that in genetic risk ... n=62) 11 cytological and architectural epithelial features defined and dysplasia score calculated to quantify ovarian epithelial abnormalities Results Mean dysplasia score significantly higher in genetic risk and stimulated ovary groups than controls [more...]

Grading of gastric foveolar-type dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus
Modern Pathology, 10/23/2009

Mahajan D et al. – Dysplasia is the gold standard biomarker of cancer risk in Barrett's esophagus, but its diagnosis remains difficult. This is due in part to its multitude of histological appearances. The recognition of Barrett's gastric–type dysplasia [more...]
