This document discusses neoplasms, also known as tumors. It defines a neoplasm and classifies tumors as either benign or malignant based on their biological behavior and morphology. The key differences between benign and malignant tumors are outlined, such as growth rate, invasion, metastasis, and clinical effects. Metastasis, where cancer spreads to other parts of the body, is a characteristic of malignant tumors. Methods for diagnosing cancer through histology, cytology, molecular analysis, and tumor markers are also summarized.
