Malignant transformation
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Malignant transformation is the term given to the process whereby either normal tissues, metaplastic, or a benign neoplasmneoplastic tissue, becomes a cancer. The process usually occurs in a series of steps and the affected tissue gradually accumulates the genetic mutations that express a malignant phenotype. The genetic steps are gradually being elucidated 1.
