An elevated<unk>  population, as determined by biopsy, typically indicates ongoing inflammation within the mucosa. In diseases such as celiac sprue,<unk>  elevation throughout the small intestine is one of many specific markers.<unk> s have heightened activated status that can lead to inflammatory disease such as IBD, promote cancer development and progression, or become the malignant cells in enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, a lymphoma that is a complication of celiac sprue. Alternatively, elevated<unk>  populations can be a marker for developing neoplasia in the tissue such as found in cervical and prostate cancers, as well as some colorectal cancers, particularly those associated with Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer ).<unk> s themselves can, when chronically activated, undergo mutation that can lead to lymphoma.
