Neoplasms

Neoplasms are abnormal growths of tissue, commonly referred to as tumors. They occur when cells in the body divide and grow uncontrollably. Neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumors typically do not spread to other parts of the body and are often not life-threatening, while malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and metastasize, or spread, to distant organs. Early detection and treatment of neoplasms are crucial for better health outcomes, particularly for malignant tumors. Understanding neoplasms is important in recognizing the potential health risks associated with abnormal cell growth.
