Malignant tumors

Malignant tumors are abnormal growths of cells that invade surrounding tissues and can spread to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic system. Unlike benign tumors, which are usually contained and do not spread, malignant tumors have the potential to grow aggressively and cause damage. They are characteristic of cancer and require prompt medical treatment to control or eliminate. Malignant tumors can affect any organ and often present with symptoms depending on their location and size. Early detection and treatment are essential for better outcomes.
