- Tumor (Neoplasm): Types, Symptoms & Treatment - Cleveland ClinicA tumor (neoplasm) is a solid mass of tissue that forms when abnormal cells group together. They can form most anywhere in your body, including your bones, skin, tissue, organs and glands. Many tumors are benign, which means they’re not cancer. You may or may not need treatment for them. Cancerous, or malignant, tumors require cancer treatment.
- Benign Tumor: Definition, Types & Symptoms - Cleveland ClinicA benign tumor, also known as a benign neoplasm or benign growth, is a noncancerous collection of cells. Unlike cancerous tumors, benign tumors are slow-growing and don’t spread to other areas of your body. They may not cause symptoms, but a large benign tumor may press on nearby tissue and organs. Treatment uses surgery to remove the tumor.
- What Is Cancer? - NCI - National Cancer InstituteWhen cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. Tumors can be cancerous or not cancerous (benign).
- Brain tumor - Symptoms and causes - Mayo ClinicBrain tumors that start as a growth of cells in the brain are called primary brain tumors. They might start right in the brain or in the tissue nearby. Nearby tissue might include the membranes that cover the brain, called meninges.
