Neoplasia is a progression of molecular, cellular, and tissue changes starting with a critical cell mutation and advancing by clonal evolution, involving further multiple mutations and expanding mutated clones. This process is characterized by five general stages: latency, focal growth of normal‐appearing but disorganized cells, abnormal‐appearing cells (dysplasia), microinvasion, and finally, metastasis. The two driving forces of neoplastic progression in an epithelium are mutagenesis and mitogenesis. These forces frequently occur concurrently, produced by exposure of the epithelium to environmental and endogenous mutagens and mitogens. The major strategy of chemoprevention is to block the effects of both mutagens and mitogens during the early stages of predysplasia and dysplasia.
