Question 1

focal high grade dysplasia is very dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: You have precancerous cells on the cervix most likely due to the human papilloma virus.
Your next step should be colposcopy and biopsy and later most likely a LEEP procedure where the surface of the cervix is removed as an office procedure.

Question 2

what is focal intestinal metaplasia without dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

Site of biopsy?: What site was biopsied? Stomach or oesophagus? The finding indicates damage to the mucosa but the damage is not pre-cancerous.

Question 3

my first exam in '13 showed tubular adenomas with mild dysplasia; this year's exam shows 2 with "mild to moderate" dysplasia. should i repeat yearly?

Accepted Answer

Colonoscopy: If you had polyps with moderate dysplasia, it is better to have it checked out the following year and probably until you get a negative colonoscopy. If the polyps are removed completely, colon cancer could be prevented.

Question 4

can moderate cervical dysplasia cause bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The abnormal areas on the cervix where the dysplasia resides can bleed spontaneously.  Bleeding between periods, especially bleeding after intercourse, needs to be evaluated.

Question 5

how long does it usually take for moderate cervical dysplasia to turn into cancer?

Accepted Answer

Varies: An important factor is age.  The younger the person is, the greater the probability of resolution.  The diagnosis is more ominous after age 40, but there is no set schedule or certainty of progress.

Question 6

focal intramucosal adenocarcinoma with high grade dysplasia; bckgrnd of barretts esophagus (.2-.5 cm)-how bad? survival in yrs? can 1 live beyond 5yrs

Accepted Answer

Depends: If what you described is the sum total of the disease, you do not have invasive cancer and regular surveillance may forestall development of cancer.  You need to follow your doctor's advice about follow-up care, tests and endoscopic examinations.

Question 7

my 65 year mothers pap smear report says squamous epithellial cells of mainly intermediate and parabasal type. moderate anisonucleosis and dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

The key is dysplasia: She will need a colposcopy and biopsy of the cervix and ecc and may need a leep or cervical cone or possible hysterectomy depending on how bad the dysplasia is or if she has worse ( hopefully not) cancer in situ.

Question 8

at what point should you seek a specialist after 3 pap results in dysplasia, mild-moderate then severe. cryotherapy and leep procedure. now pap sever ?

Accepted Answer

Another Leep: I understand that you have a diagnosis of severe dysplasia following a cervical Cone. This implies that they did not get all of the HPV severe dysplasia cells and you should return for another Leep. This may seem aggressive but this will ensure that all of the dysplastic sales are excised and that your new margin should be negative. In less you have dysplasia of the vagina or vulva as well.

Question 9

how aggressive of a cancer is focal intramucousal adenocarcinoma with high grade dysplasia of esophagus? this stemmed from baretts.

Accepted Answer

Not invasive: If what you described is all that there is, it is not invasive cancer and may never become invasive if you follow your doctor's advice about follow-up care.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Question 10

my father aged about 76 yrs went through coloscopic surgery. the biopsy report says:-tubulovillous adenomas with focal high grade dysplasia. pl.

Accepted Answer

Close follow up: If the polyp is entirely removed, then recommend 6 mo or so repeat colonoscopy to make sure the lesion does not recur. Talk to your GI doc.
