Is Dysplasia Reversible? - tona - ArchivalUser - 03-25-2007
Can it revert to normal ( reversible?) cell morphology & architecture?
UW says it is reversible .... i thought it may/may not progress to CIS & invasive Ca , but once a tissue becomes Dysplastic ( not metaplastic) it doesn't revert back..
anyone knows about it?

hi tona
this is what I found on
http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/CINJHTML/CINJ011.html
The normal cervical squamous epithelium has become transformed to a more disorderly growth pattern, or dysplastic epithelium. This is farther down the road toward neoplasia, but dysplasia is still a potentially reversible process.
