Malignancy

Malignancy refers to a type of abnormal cell growth that is uncontrolled and invasive, commonly known as cancer. These cells can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Unlike benign tumors, which are generally harmless and localized, malignant tumors can cause significant damage, interfere with normal body functions, and pose serious health risks. Malignancy results from genetic changes in cells that disrupt their regulate growth, leading to rapid, unchecked proliferation. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage and control malignancy effectively.
