An abnormal growth of cells that continues to grow even after the initial stimulus is removed.

A benign tumor is a non-cancerous tumor. It is enclosed and does not spread to other areas.

A malignant tumor is a cancerous tumor. It grows uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body.

A tumor is a swelling or lump, which can be caused by various factors.

Cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell division and spread.

A genetic alteration that disrupts normal cell growth and behavior, leading to tumor formation.

A gene that normally prevents uncontrolled cell growth, but when mutated can contribute to cancer development.

A process of gene alterations that can lead to the development of cancer from a normal cell to a benign tumor and then to a malignant tumor.

A population of cells descended from a single mutated cell.

The process by which a normal cell develops into a cancerous cell through a series of genetic changes.

The theory that cancer arises from a single cell that has undergone a series of mutations.

The theory that cancer originates from a stem cell that has lost its normal regulation.

The immune system is able to recognize and eliminate cancer cells.

Cancer cells can evade the immune system and continue to grow.

The initial stages of cancer where the growth is limited and the immune system is able to control it.

A process where a tumor cell develops the ability to spread to other parts of the body.

A process where cells divide and grow in a disorganized way, but without the characteristics of cancer.

The degree to which tumor cells resemble their normal counterparts in terms of structure and function.

The complete loss of differentiation in tumor cells, resulting in abnormal structure and function.

The ability of tumor cells to invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites.

In normal tissues, the rates of new cell growth and old cell death are kept in balance. In cancer, this balance is disrupted. This disruption can result from 1) uncontrolled cell growth or 2) loss of a cell's ability to undergo apoptosis.

The process by which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing blood vessels.

Cells have changed life span. Decreased apoptosis.

Interactions between cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix, which provides structural support and influences cell behavior.

Cells have changed life span. Decreased apoptosis

Altered synthesis of growth factors (autocrine or paracrine effect), altered receptors (increased, decreased, or mutated), and excess/modified growth control proteins

Increased cell proliferation means more cells enter the cell cycle and the cell cycle speeds up, leading to a shorter doubling time.

The process by which cells divide and form new cells.

An abnormal growth of cells that continues to grow even after the initial stimulus is removed.

A tumor that is not cancerous and does not spread to other parts of the body.

A tumor that is cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body.

A tumor that is confined to the area of origin and has not spread to other parts of the body. It's like a locked-down tumor that can't escape.

A type of benign neoplasm characterized by finger-like projections.

A benign epithelial tumor arising from glandular tissue.

A malignant epithelial tumor originating from the skin.

A benign connective tissue tumor derived from smooth muscle.

A malignant connective tissue tumor originating from smooth muscle.

A malignant tumor of lymphoid tissue.

A malignant tumor of germ cells in the testes.

A benign germ cell tumor of the ovary, containing various tissue types.
