Malignancies

Malignancies are types of diseases where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and can invade nearby tissues or spread throughout the body. These are commonly called cancers. Unlike benign tumors, which are non-cancerous and limited in growth, malignant tumors have the potential to metastasize, meaning they can move to other parts of the body via the blood or lymphatic system. Malignancies can affect any organ and often require treatment such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy to remove or destroy the abnormal cells. Early detection and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
