Cancer
Neoplasm or tumour is a mass of tissue formed as a result of abnormal, excessive, uncoordinated ,autonous & purposeless proliferation of cells.
Neoplasm may be ‘benign’ when they are slow growing & localised without causing much difficulty to the host or ‘malignant’ when they proliferates rapidly, spreads throughout the body & may eventually cause death of the host.
The common term used for all malignant tumours is cancer.
