PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumors tend to grow slowly and do not spread. Malignant tumors can grow rapidly, invade and destroy nearby normal tissues, and spread throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor means the tumor can grow but will not spread.

Detailed explanation-3: -A benign tumor is not malignant. It grows more slowly, has even borders and doesn’t spread to other parts of your body. Many benign tumors don’t require treatment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tumors can be cancerous or not cancerous (benign). Cancerous tumors spread into, or invade, nearby tissues and can travel to distant places in the body to form new tumors (a process called metastasis). Cancerous tumors may also be called malignant tumors.

Detailed explanation-5: -Benign. Refers to a tumor that is not cancerous. The tumor does not usually invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body.
