Introduction
Invasive adenocarcinoma refers to the concept of adenocarcinoma in situ and is clinically divided into three different grades: grade I represents low malignancy, grade II moderate malignancy, and grade III high malignancy. Therefore, when the disease progresses to grade II, it indicates that cancer cells have begun to spread. Prompt medical evaluation is necessary, and appropriate treatment should be selected based on the underlying cause.
Infiltrating adenocarcinoma grade II is considered to have moderate malignancy, indicating that cancer cells have already spread to other areas. Timely medical treatment is necessary to prolong the patient's survival. The detailed analysis is as follows:
Infiltrating adenocarcinoma refers to an advanced stage beyond carcinoma in situ and represents a subtype of adenocarcinoma. It occurs when epithelial basement membrane adenocarcinoma cells invade and progressively infiltrate deeper layers of the basement membrane. Once the cancer spreads to blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, or other sites, it may lead to lymphatic or hematogenous metastasis. Clinically, it is classified into three grades: grade I indicates low malignancy, grade II indicates moderate malignancy, and grade III indicates high malignancy. Therefore, when the disease progresses to grade II, it suggests that cancer cells have begun to spread, and patients should seek prompt medical evaluation and appropriate treatment based on the underlying condition.
During treatment, patients should maintain a positive mindset, manage their daily diet carefully, and avoid consuming raw, cold, or spicy irritant foods.
