Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaplastic changes in skin cells indicate abnormal and aggressive growth. The most appropriate intervention would be to remove the anaplastic cells to prevent the cells from developing into cancerous cells. Depending on the extent of the anaplastic changes and the location of the lesion, the removal may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or other intervention. Careful monitoring would also be essential to ensure that there is no recurrence of the anaplasia or development of cancerous cells. Chemotherapy would not be a suitable intervention in this scenario. There is no medication that can reverse anaplasia.
