Summary Introduction

Introduction: A tumor is an abnormal tissue mass that may be in solid form or fluid-filled lumps. Malignant tumors are also referred to as cancerous tumors, where abnormal cells divide rapidly and metastasize to new areas. The severity of a malignant tumor depends on the tumor location and how fast it can metastasize. The general combining forms for cancer include carcin/o (that means cancer) and sarc/o (that means malignant tumor of connective tissue).
