Question
One week ago, my subject was diagnosed with suspected in situ carcinoma of the left breast through mammography and underwent radical lymph node dissection for left breast cancer. The pathological report showed moderate atypical hyperplasia. What does hyperplasia mean?
Answer
Hyperplasia refers to the phenomenon of cells multiplying through division and proliferation, which is divided into two types: physiological hyperplasia and pathological hyperplasia. General physiological hyperplasia is beneficial to the body and can promote the body’s circulation, but pathological muscle hyperplasia is harmful to the body and can spread inflammation. You can go to the hospital to check which type of hyperplasia it belongs to, and then adopt appropriate treatment methods for control. In recent years, the most common hyperplastic disease is benign prostatic hyperplasia.
