Did you mean Cancer Growth?

GlossaryTumor Growth (Cancer Growth)

abnormal cell proliferation forming a mass, potentially cancerous

Tumor growth refers to the process by which abnormal cells proliferate uncontrollably, forming a mass or lump known as a tumor. This can occur in any tissue of the body and can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with malignant tumors having the potential to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). Understanding the mechanisms behind tumor growth is crucial for developing effective cancer treatments.
