A potentially life-threatening mass of cancerous cells.
Malignant tumors are ambitious. Unlike benign tumors that generally stay put, malignant tumors have two goals in life: to survive and to conquer new territory.
So, if you have a malignant tumor in your colon, it's going to try to work its way through your colon. If successful, it will see where else it can go. This is called metastasizing.
In general, malignant tumors grow faster than benign tumors and are more likely to cause health problems.
Benign tumors are not cancerous. Malignant means it is made up of cancerous cells.A benign tumor is an abnormal growth that is not cancerous in nature and cannot spread. Many conditions can cause a lump or growth that is not cancer. Although a benign tumor has no cancerous cells, it can still present problems depending on location. For example, if it is located in the head, it can cause blockage of blood flow to important arteries and veins, or it can cause pressure on the brain.Cancer is when a cell or a bunch of cells becomes messed up and divides beyond normal limits, invades and destroys neighbouring tissues, and sometimes spreads to other tissues/organs through lymph or blood. A benign tumor is one that only divides beyond normal limits. This is what forms a tumor in the first place because the cell doesn't understand when it should stop dividing. It keeps replicating and thus forms a tumor. Benign means the tumor is not considered "cancer". You can have a benign tumor with cancerous cells, but you will not have cancer.Benign tumors usually stay at the site and malignant tumors stray to other parts of the body using the bloodstream or lymphatic system.(As a side note not all cancers form tumors, like leukemia)Sometimes a benign tumor may give rise to a malignant one which is why it is recommended you see your health care provider about spots or moles, in case you should get them removed. Certain spots you may have thought nothing of could potentially be dangerous, while that mole you were obsessing over could be harmless.Benign tumor is an abnormal but noncancerous cell mass or growth and Malignant tumor is a cancerous mass of cells Benign tumors have capsules, and does not spread to other organs..when malignant ones do not have capsules and can spread.
Lymphomas (malignant tumors of lymphoid tissues) and leukemias (abnormal overgrowth of white blood cells, causing tumor cells to grow) are particularly common types of cancer, although the risk of developing most types of cancer is high in those with A-T.
In June 1961, two-year-old Karen Armstrong was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the middle part of her brain stem. X-ray treatment slowed its growth but her health deteriorated to the point where she could no longer walk or talk. Karen died of pneumonia, related to her weakened health, on January 28, 1962.
When a tumor is benign, it means that it does not have the ability to invade the other cells in the body. Moles and warts are examples of such tumors.
I believe the episode is called 'Petarded'. It is the episode where Lois lets Peter win Trivial Pursuit and he believes himself to be a genius.
