A tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the body. It can be benign or malignant.
- Benign tumors are non-cancerous and tend to grow slowly. They do not spread to other parts of the body and generally do not pose a serious health risk.
- In contrast, malignant tumors are cancerous and can grow uncontrollably. They can invade nearby tissues and spread throughout the body, a process known as metastasis.
Malignant tumors require immediate medical attention and can be treated through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other specific therapies.
