What are metaplastic cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cell transformation: Metaplasia represents transformation of cells from a normal to an abnormal state. It is felt that tumors begin in a field and normal appearing cells begin transformation to the premalignant state by producing tumor proteins. The cells then move on to a more active state, metaplasia, where the cell structure begins to look abnormal, that is dysplastic and finally to early low grade malignancies
