Precancerous stage is a stage prior to cancer. Dysplasia of the cervix and Leukoplakia in the oral cavity are the common precancerous stages. Leukoplakia is a white thickened patch that usually appears in the mucous membrane of the mouth, lips, tongue, vulva and anus. The oral cavity Leukoplakia is commonly seen in tobacco-chewers & smokers. With continued use of tobacco, it progresses to form cancer. On the other hand, if the person having Leukoplakia stops tobacco-chewing & smoking, the leukoplakic patch does not develop into cancer, instead it gradually reverts back to the normal tissue. Cervical dysplasia is an altered patch of cervical tissue that can progress to cancer. It can be detected by performing Pap test. An early detection of cervical dysplasia usually provides enough time to the patient for taking preventive measures. Studies conducted by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London on the women smokers having cervical dysplasia, revealed that the lesions reduce remarkably in those women who stop smoking for more than six months.
