3. Introduction Tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue Also known as Neoplasm Means the new formation Oncology ( oncos = tumor) is the study of tumors or neoplasm

4. Definition of tumor A tumor is a mass of tissue that's formed by an accumulation of abnormal cells. Normally, the cells in your body age, die, and are replaced by new cells. With cancer and other tumors, something disrupts this cycle. Tumor cells grow, even though the body does not need them, and unlike normal old cells, they don't die. As this process goes on, the tumor continues to grow as more and more cells are added to the mass.

5. Classification of Tumor Benign tumor – A slow growing, self contained tumor that is not seriously harmful. Malignant Tumor – A usually fast growing, often fatal tumor that invades surrounding tissue and sheds cells that spread throughout the body, creating new tumor.

6. Benign Tumor Benign tumor are non Malignant or non cancerous tumor. A benign tumor is usually localized, and does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Benign tumors are typically slow growing. Most benign tumors respond well to treatment and they often have well defined borders, so surgical removal can be an effective treatment. However, if left untreated, some benign tumors can grow large and leads to serious disease because of their size. Eg : fibroid in the uterus, lipomas in skin

7. Causes Environmental toxins, Such as Exposure to Radiation. Genetic mutation Diet Injury Infection

8. Symptoms Depending on the location, possible symptoms of a benign tumor include: Headache Vision trouble Fuzzy memory Chills Discomfort or pain Fever Weight loss Night sweats

9. Treatment In many cases, benign tumors need no treatment. Doctors may simply use “watchful waiting” to make sure they cause no problem. But treatment may be needed if symptoms are a problem. Surgery is a common type of treatment for benign tumors . The goal is to remove the tumor without damaging surrounding tissues.

10. Examples Lipomas grow from fat cells. They are the most common benign tumor in adults, often found in the neck, shoulder , back or arm. Myomas are tumors that grow from muscle. Nevi (moles) are growths on the skin. Osteochondromas are the most common type of benign bone tumor . Adenomas: cancer of glandular epithelial cell: colon brest tumor , liver

11. Benign tumor Lipomas Skin Moles

12. Malignant Tumor A Malignant Tumor is a cancerous tumor. Malignant tumors have cells that are abnormal and divide uncontrollably without order. Some tumors are caused by the genetic mutation. These cells are often spread to and damage nearby tissue and may spread to other parts of the body, which is known as metastasis.

13. Causes Genetic mutation Radiation Bacteria and viruses also can cause cancer Lifestyle and many more

14. Symptoms Severe, persistent headache Seizures (brain disturbed) epilepsy Vomiting Mental or behavioural changes, such as memory problems or changes in personality Vision problems

15. Treatment Surgery Chemotherapy Radiotherapy Hormone therapy Stem cell therapy

16. Examples Carcinomas :covers internal and external parts of the body. Sarcomas: located in bone, cartilage, muscles and etc. Lymphomas: In lymph nodes and immune system response. Adenoma: In the thyroid gland, adrenal gland and other glands. Osteosarcoma : It is a type of bone cancer that begins in the cells that form bones .

17. Malignant Tumor Lung cancer Breast cancer
