    Most people think that malignant tumors are cancer, but this is not true, at least this statement is not comprehensive or formal.

    Most people call malignant tumors"Cancer"。For example, stomach cancer, lung cancer, etc., some people call osteosarcoma and leukemia bone cancer and blood cancer. Actually, this is not exact.

    Malignant tumors are further divided into carcinoma and sarcoma, and only epithelial malignant tumors are called carcinomas, accounting for about malignant tumors.

    Above, such as ** cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, membrane adenocarcinoma, thyroid cancer, etc. Malignant tumors other than epithelial tissues, such as bone, fat, muscle, soft tissue, etc., are called sarcomas, such as liposarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and malignant tumors of lymphatic and hematopoietic tissues including leukemia, lymphoma, malignant histiocytosis, etc.

    A tumor refers to a group of cells that proliferate abnormally in the body.

    In general, there are two kinds of such cells, one of which is malignant proliferation and can invade other tissues and organs, which is called malignant tumor, which is often referred to as cancer, which is a malignant disease.

    The other is a benign tumor, which generally appears only in size, but does not invade other tissues, unless there is compression, otherwise there is no danger.

    People try to confuse tumors with cancer, thinking that tumors are cancers, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. Tumors include benign tumors and malignant tumors. A degree of malignancy between the two is also called a junction tumor.

    And what we call cancer is a common name for malignant tumors. So a tumor is not the same as cancer.

    Tumor is a medical term, and cancer is a common name.

    Tumors are medically divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors, and malignant tumors are what ordinary people call cancer.

    Benign tumors develop slowly and are generally not life-threatening; Malignant tumors (cancers), on the other hand, develop rapidly, metastasize very quickly, and quickly become life-threatening.

    The tumor is positive, no major problems do not require surgery; Obstructions, such as compression of nerves or obstruction of blood flow, are surgically removed. Cancer is a malignant tumor, and measures must be taken, otherwise it will be life-threatening. If you have a malignant tumor, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, which can delay life.

    Cancer is rheumatism that accumulates in the body over a long period of time.

    In the process of getting bigger, because there is no fresh blood passing through the blocked place (just like a sealed space, there will be a peculiar smell after a long time), the blocked part will be diseased, and this period is called a tumor.

    If it is not removed in time to make it smooth, the lesion will undergo malignant transformation, which is called cancer in Western medicine.

    Western medicine believes that if the tumor site is removed, everything will be fine, but in fact, it is not. In the process of tumor formation, it will also decompose the protons inside it to the blood, at this time, there will be a cause for the formation of tumors in the blood, when other parts of the body are weak, with the turnover of blood, the cause of the formation of tumors will take advantage of the deficiency, and the tumors (lesions) will appear again, which is called metastasis or ** in Western medicine.

    The only way to prevent the formation of tumor cancer is to remove all rheumatism and detoxification from the blood and body tissues, so as to achieve the goal of not producing cancer.

    It seems simple, in fact, this is a very complex problem, even if you have the world's top medical certificate, there is nothing you can do about it, because, in order to achieve the removal of depressive poison in the body, it is not a fixed drug that can do it, it depends on the different circumstances of each person, and if there is a slight difference, it is the worry of life!

    The highlights of this medical theory are limited to me and do not represent any unit or organization!

    Tumors are divided into malignant tumors and benign tumors, and cancer is a type of malignant tumor and is commonly used to refer to malignant tumors.

    Tumor is a type of disease in which gene mutations or abnormal expression of body cells occur under the action of internal and external factors, resulting in excessive proliferation of specific tissues.

    Most of the benign tumors are mainly local hyperplasia, so the relative harm and difficulty are low, some benign tumors can be observed for a long time without treatment, but there are also individual benign tumors that are life-threatening (such as large volume of hemangiomas, arterial aneurysms, etc.), which is more difficult.

    In addition to the characteristics of infinite proliferation of malignant tumors (theoretically unlimited, but in fact limited because they endanger individual lives), most of them also have the characteristics of invasion and metastasis, which is more difficult, and the prognosis (effect) is related to the stage of the tumor, the pathological type (degree of malignancy), metastasis, the general health status, the sensitivity to the patient, and the degree of cooperation of the patient. At present, some tumors have good clinical effects, such as **cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc. (the 5-year survival rate can reach more than 90%). In general, the key to malignant tumors is early detection, and the earlier the tumor, the better the effect.

    There is a general classification of malignant tumors according to the tissue, which is generally called carcinoma from epithelial tissue and sarcoma from mesenchymal tissue. There are also some tumors whose names do not follow the general rules due to historical evolution and conventions, such as leukemia is a hematological malignant tumor, and lymphoma and melanoma are also malignant tumors. Although cancer is a type of malignant tumor in the professional sense, the common people generally use cancer to refer to malignant tumors.

    There are also tumors that fall between benign and malignant and are called junctional tumors.

    The specific name of each tumor cannot determine the degree of malignancy and prognosis based on the name alone, and a doctor should be consulted.

    Tumors are divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors, malignant tumors are cancers, the difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors: first: whether metastasis occurs, generally not metastasis in the body is mostly benign tumors, unless it is a malignant tumor that is found at a very early stage, the others have spread in the human body.

    Second: the growth rate of tumors, most of the slow growth is benign tumors, some benign tumors will even begin to degenerate or slowly stop growing, on the contrary, the growth rate of malignant tumors is quite rapid.

    Thirdly, whether the growth pattern affects the surrounding organs, the benign tumor will have a layer of envelope on the periphery, which can distinguish it from adjacent normal tissues and will not invade the surrounding organs; However, most malignant tumors do not have this layer of envelope, and in the process of their growth, they are easy to invade the surrounding organs and form adhesions and affect the surrounding normal tissues and organs.

    Fourth, the impact of the two on the body, benign tumors will compress the surrounding organs because the tumor is too large in the later stage, making the patient feel uncomfortable, but most of them are manifested as some local symptoms; Compared with malignant tumors, which have a strong destructive power of spread and metastasis to body organs, patients are prone to many clinical manifestations such as emaciation, anemia, cachexia, etc., and even quickly endanger the lives of patients.

    Finally, on the basis of our understanding of the difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors, oncologists have summarized some of the early symptoms of cancer for us, and we should have an understanding of these early symptoms related to cancer, and go to the hospital regularly for physical examinations, so as to know about cancer early and start early, so as to increase the chance. The early symptoms of cancer include: enlarged lumps on the body, unexplained weight loss, decreased appetite, muscle weakness and irregular pain in the upper abdomen, long-term wound non-healing, dry cough, blood in sputum, chest pain and chest tightness, changes in urine and urine habits and alternating diarrhea and constipation, visual impairment and vomiting.

    The presence of these symptoms is not necessarily a sign of cancer, but it is important to pay attention to any of these symptoms that may be associated with early symptoms of cancer.

    Benign tumor.

    Generally, the growth rate is relatively slow, expansive growth, there is an envelope around it, only compresses and does not infiltrate the surrounding tissues, the lump can be moved by touch, the texture is relatively soft, and the boundary between normal tissues is clear. After surgical resection, there is basically no **, no metastasis, no local necrosis and hemorrhage, and generally does not threaten human life.

    Malignant tumors are cancers.

    The growth rate is very rapid, invades the surrounding tissues, has no obvious boundary with the surrounding tissues, the texture is hard, there is no envelope, in addition to the large volume, it often spreads and spreads to the surroundings, and has strong destructive and lethal power. In the late stage, it is often fixed on a certain organ and tissue, necrosis, ulceration and bleeding, and it is difficult to stop bleeding and heal, if it is not timely, or if it is not appropriate, it is easy to metastasize and spread, threatening the safety of human life and causing death.

    Tumors are classified as benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are usually not life-threatening. Malignant tumors are commonly known as cancers.

    But even malignant tumors are not as scary as people think, and cancer is actually a relatively serious chronic disease. Now they are all alleviated by d resistance. Many people die of cancer because of fear and nervousness, or because of inappropriateness.

    Because many modern methods, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have greatly reduced the body's immunity and caused great damage to the body.

    Conditioning: Eat less oil and fat, sugar and salt, and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and rice flour with bran (whole grains). The food is mainly rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and try to eat less or no meat.

    Don't think that meat is nutritious, in fact, the digestion of meat consumes a lot of the body's ability, and the decomposition products after meat digestion are not as easy to excrete from the body as plants, causing a burden on the body. In addition, a lot of meat is contaminated nowadays, so it is recommended to eat as little meat as possible for the sake of good health.

    Maintain an optimistic and happy attitude towards life. Find benefits in case of trouble. Don't complain. Unpleasant mood can affect various functions of the body, especially immune function.

    Tumors are abnormal cells in the human body that are overproliferated due to the action of related factors, which grow wildly and spread wildly with uncontrollable magic. It leads to the failure of the affected organs, and finally leads to death. Tumors can be divided into benign and malignant according to their characteristics and the degree of harm to the body.

    Benign is a tumor, malignant is cancerous.

    **The methods are generally as follows: surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Tumor refers to the new organism formed by the proliferation of local histiocytes under the action of various tumorigenic factors, because this new organism mostly presents a space-occupying lumpy protrusion, also known as vegetation.

    Carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor originating from epithelial tissue, which is the most common type of malignant tumor. Correspondingly, malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues are collectively referred to as sarcomas. There are a few malignant tumors that are not named according to the above principles, such as Wilms tumor, malignant teratoma, etc.

    The term "cancer" is commonly referred to as all malignant tumors.

    Cancer, also known as malignancy, is a disease caused by abnormal mechanisms that control cell growth and proliferation. In addition to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells, they can also invade the surrounding normal tissues and even metastasize to other parts of the body through the internal circulatory system or lymphatic system.

    Tumor is an abnormal lesion formed by a cell of local tissue that loses its normal regulation of its growth at the gene level under the action of various carcinogenic factors, resulting in its clonal abnormal proliferation. Tumors are generally divided into two categories: benign and malignant.

Generally, the stages of cancer are divided into early, intermediate, and advanced stages. In medicine, there is also TNM staging, which is recommended by the World Health Organization for the vast majority of tumors: stage 1 is early; Phase II and Phase III belong to the middle stage, like Phase III may belong to the late middle stage, and Phase II belongs to the middle stage early; There are also four stages, which belong to the advanced stage, that is, extensive metastasis, or the lesion has spread and infiltrated severely, which is very advanced.
