Macmillan and Cancerbackup have merged. Together we provide free, high quality information for all.
How we produce our information|
A pre-cancerous condition is a disease, or syndrome (collection of symptoms) that may sometimes develop into a particular type of cancer. It doesn’t mean that you have or will definitely get a cancer but it’s important that you are monitored by doctors.
Breast calcifications are small areas of calcium in the breast. They are very common and usually harmless.
Essential thrombocythaemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative disease where there is an overproduction of platelets.
Polycythaemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder where too many red blood cells are produced by the bone marrow.
Chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis is a condition in which scar tissue (fibrosis) develops in the bone marrow.
Monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) affects a type of white blood cell known as a plasma cell.
