Anirban Maitra: The multistep progression of human epithelial cancers
Anirban Maitra, Professor of Pathology and Translational Molecular Pathology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center shared a post on X:
“The three major epithelial precancers missing in this diagram are:
– Pancreatic cancer – Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN)
– High grade serous ovarian cancer – Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC)
– Endometrial adenocarcinoma – Atypical hyperplasia.”
The multistep progression of human epithelial cancers includes an obligate precancer or intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) step.
Published in 2001, which now well recognized intraepithelial neoplasm is missing in this figure?
Dr. Anirban Maitra serves as Professor of Pathology and Translational Molecular Pathology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center since August 2013, and directs the Sheikh Ahmed Pancreatic Cancer Research Center. He leads an NCI-funded laboratory dedicated to pancreatic cancer research, focusing on genetics and molecular pathology in human and mouse models. His research aims to advance early detection and interception strategies to enhance patient survival rates in pancreatic cancer.
