Several types of precancerous conditions can affect different parts of the body:
- Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN): A condition where abnormal cells are found on the surface of the cervix. - Barrett's Esophagus: A condition where the lining of the esophagus changes due to chronic acid reflux, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. - Adenomatous Polyps: These are growths in the colon that can become malignant if not removed. - Actinic Keratosis: Rough, scaly patches on the skin caused by sun exposure, which can progress to skin cancer.
