Q

Fetus has neural tube defects: what medication (teratogen) caused that?

A

not associated with mutation low grade -\> high grade -\> invasion
69
Urothelial cell carcinoma: why does it tend to be multifocal and have recurrence? ("field defect")
all of bladder cells have been bathed in carcinogens (if reason is smoking/toxins) - just a matter of time before others become cancerous
