Tumors are abnormal masses of tissue that can be solid or fluid-filled. They are not necessarily cancerous. Tumors are divided into three groups: benign tumors which are non-cancerous and cannot spread; premalignant tumors which are not yet cancerous but appear to be developing cancerous properties; and malignant tumors which are cancerous and can grow and spread. Doctors diagnose tumors through biopsies and treat them with therapies like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

• A tumor, also known as a neoplasm, is an
abnormal mass of tissue that may be solid or

• It is not the same as a cancer, although some
can develop into cancers
• Tumours are groups of abnormal cells that
form lumps or growths
Introduction

3. z
Fast facts on tumors
• Tumors are not necessarily cancerous
• Benign tumors cannot spread
• A premalignant tumor is one that is not yet
cancerous but is about to be
• An excisional biopsy involves removing an
entire lump or surrounding area

6. Types
tumors are divided into three groups:
• Benign: These are not cancerous and
cannot spread. A benign tumor will remain
in its current form. They do not generally
return after being removed

7. • Premalignant: A premalignant tumor is not
yet cancerous but appears to be
developing the properties of cancer
• Malignant: Malignant tumors are
cancerous. They can grow, spread, and
get worse

10. Diagnosis
• Excisional biopsy
•
• Incisional or core biopsy
• Needle aspiration biopsy

11. Treatment
• chemotherapy
• radiation therapy
• hormonal therapy
• targeted therapy
• (including immunotherapy such
as monoclonal antibody therapy)
and synthetic lethality
