wow thanks for the beautiful explanation.... you are indeed correct, it is more protective. I was just thinking in the case of Barretts Esophagus which can cause it to be harmful. But you ae right... i think anaplasia is worst (hallmark for malignancy), then dysplasia, then metaplasia in terms of increasing to decreasing order of risk for malignancy.
