Tumor diseases

Tumors arise when cells start dividing uncontrollably and form a mass of new tissue. They can be benign or malignant. A benign tumor usually grows slowly and does not spread to other parts of the body, while malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues or organs and spread through the blood or lymphatic system. Symptoms can vary depending on the type of tumor, its location, and its size—early detection is often crucial for the prognosis. There are many different treatment methods; depending on the tumor's characteristics and the individual's health, options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and medications such as chemotherapy.
