Hyperplasia: Before cancer cells form

Before cancer cells form in tissues of the body, the cells go through abnormal changes called hyperplasia and dysplasia. In hyperplasia, there is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue that appear normal under a microscope . Hyperplasia is a non-cancerous condition characterized by an increased number of cells within a tissue or organ . This increase in cell number can cause the affected tissue to grow larger or thicker. Hyperplastic is another term commonly used to describe tissues that have undergone hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue, which can lead to the organ’s enlargement. This process only occurs if the cell population is capable of dividing. Can all cells undergo hyperplasia ? No, NOT all cells can undergo hyperplasia . Hyperplasia is an increase in the amount of organic tissue that results from cell proliferation. It may lead to the gross enlargement of an organ. Microscopically, cells resemble normal cells but are increased in numbers.
