3. Benign: A slow-growing, self-contained
tumor that is not seriously harmful.
Malignant: A usually fast-growing, often
fatal tumor that invades surrounding
tissue and sheds cells that spread
throughout the body, creating new
tumors.

6. Benign Malignant
Well-differentiated Cells are
cells that resemble undifferentiated and
normal cells of the often bear little
tissue from which the resemblance to the
tumor originated normal cells of the
tissue from which
they arose

Tumor grows by Grows at the
expansion and does periphery and sends

10. Benign Malignant
Rate of growth is Rate of growth is
usually slow variable and
depends on level of
differentiation; the
more anaplastic the
tumor, the faster its
growth

deaths from cancer (malignant tumors).
