The difference between poorly differentiated and well differentiated cancers

   There are very many people with cancer, and there are many types of cancer, so it is necessary to hurry up the treatment time. Many people are in danger of life because of the lack of timely treatment. Let’s first Let''s understand what is the difference between poorly differentiated and well differentiated cancer!

  Cancer has become one of the killers of human life, seriously threatening the life and health of modern people, and has aroused widespread concern. Cancer usually refers to a malignant tumor, the main feature is metastatic and invasive. In order to reduce the mortality rate of cancer, it is recommended that people regularly do cancer screening and physical examination. The sooner the cancer is detected, the higher the cure rate. In medicine, according to the degree of cancer cell differentiation, cancer can be divided into poorly differentiated cancer, moderately differentiated cancer and well-differentiated cancer. Differentiation refers to the degree of maturity of cancer tissues. The more mature the cancer cells, the higher the differentiation. Let''s take a closer look at the main characteristics of cancer''s high and low differentiation.

  Highly differentiated carcinoma. Well-differentiated cancer can occur in the skin, mouth, lips, esophagus, cervix, vagina, etc. The causes are complex and diverse, and can be caused by internal and external causes. Differentiation refers to the degree of maturation of cancerous tissues. The more differentiated cancerous tissues are, the more highly differentiated cancers are called. Mature cancer cells are very close to normal tissues. The degree of malignancy of well-differentiated cancer is relatively low, the treatment effect is relatively high, and the recovery rate is relatively high. Squamous cell carcinoma is a well-differentiated carcinoma that can occur anywhere in the body. As long as it is treated in time, squamous cell carcinoma can be cured. The prognosis is good, the patients are checked regularly, and the recurrence rate is relatively low.

   Poorly differentiated carcinoma. Poorly differentiated cancer is a cancer with a relatively high degree of malignancy and a poor prognosis. It is easy to relapse and treatment is difficult. The cancer cells of poorly differentiated cancer are poorly differentiated, very immature, and highly malignant. The typical representative of poorly differentiated cancer is poorly differentiated gastric cancer, and the occurrence of gastric cancer is closely related to people''s living habits and eating habits. Many patients are diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer, which is difficult to cure.

  The degree of differentiation of cancer has an important reference in clinical practice. Different types of cancer have different treatment difficulties and different prognosis. Cancer is the result of the combined action of various factors, and the specific pathogenesis is not yet clear. To prevent cancer, we usually check the body regularly and do cancer screening.
