Preinvasive Cancer

Definition: Preinvasive cancer refers to a condition in which abnormal cells are found only within the layer of cells lining a specific organ or tissue, without invasion into surrounding tissues.

Sense 1: As a noun (medical): A potentially malignant condition in which abnormal cells, although not yet invasive, have the potential to develop into cancer if left untreated.

Example sentence: Regular screenings significantly increase the chances of detecting preinvasive cancer at an early stage.

Sense 2: As an adjective: Describing a stage of cancer development where abnormal cells remain contained within the original organ or tissue, not having spread to adjacent areas.

Example sentence: The doctor suspected that the patient's preinvasive cancer could still be effectively treated with surgery.
