    1. Growth and development rate.

    First of all, if it is a malignant tumor, then it grows rapidly, and it usually spreads to other institutions in just a few months. Benign tumors, on the other hand, grow and develop more slowly, sometimes taking many years to grow a little.

    2. Is it a migration?

    Malignant tumors often hear about migration, which usually migrates in a short period of time, invading other organs and organs, and is accompanied by a series of abnormal diseases, such as high fever or other symptoms.

    3. The texture is different.

    Judging from the texture of the two, most benign tumors are soft, and can be moved behind the elbow, and their appearance is generally smooth, and its boundaries can be seen in the examination report. If it is a malignant tumor, its texture is generally hard, and it is fixed after being pressed by hand, and it will not feel pain.

    4. The level of harm to other organs.

    Benign tumors are easily distinguished from other adjacent organs during examination because they have an adventitial cyst, and they do not damage adjacent organs. However, malignant tumors will migrate and spread, and in the process of growth and development, they will invade the surrounding organs and organs, causing harm to the surrounding organs and causing discomfort.

    Although the probability of benign tumors progressing is low and the risk of harming life is small, it does not mean that it is okay to be indifferent. Once a benign tumor is diagnosed, it is necessary to do surgery according to the specific guidance of the physician to avoid malignant transformation in the middle and late stages. If surgery is not required, it is necessary to regularly maintain and grasp the status of the malignant tumor, and grasp the condition of the surrounding organs of the malignant tumor, so as to avoid the possibility of other diseases and prevent the surrounding problems from harming the malignant tumor.

    Whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, it is necessary to maintain a good attitude, and do not have to jeopardize the mentality due to anxiety and worry, after all, the mentality is also one of the reasons for the poor actual effect of the disease. Poor mentality is not conducive to the recovery of diseases, and even affects endocrine disorders and causes malignant transformation of diseases. Only by cooperating with the doctor to carry out the examination, and then doing the relevant medical treatment to control the disease, actively respond to the disease, have the self-confidence to defeat the disease, and let the daily life be filled with the sun, it is better for the disease.

    The difference is that the morphology and growth mode of the tumor are different, the benign growth rate is very slow, it can be clearly checked, it can be remissioned, the malignant development is rapid, the general situation is that the disease is very serious, it will be life-threatening, benign tumors can not be ignored, because some benign tumors grow in dangerous positions, will compress the nerves and cause bad consequences, should go to a regular hospital for examination, according to the doctor's advice whether it needs to be removed.

    There is a difference in the ** aspect, there is a difference in the symptoms, there is a difference in the physical aspect, there is a difference in the mental aspect, there is a difference in the diet. Because benign tumors are much lighter than malignant tumors, and benign tumors are better than malignant tumors**, but benign tumors cannot be ignored because it is not conducive to our health.

    The difference is that the symptoms are different, the degree of damage to the body is different, the solution through surgery is different, the degree of health is different, and the effect is different. Benign tumors are also removed, and your body will only recover after removal.

    The difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors is that one degree is mild, one degree is severe, one requires **, and the other requires chemotherapy. Benign tumors cannot be left unattended, otherwise they will deteriorate into malignant tumors.

    Tumor is a relatively common disease in the disease, it can be divided into malignant and benign according to the pathology, but no matter what it is, many people are afraid and worried when they hear about the tumor, but the actual benign tumor is not life-threatening to the patient.

    Benign tumors, generally speaking of slow growth, can be present in the body for years or decades. It grows expansively and has clearer boundaries. Benign tumors in the subcutaneous soft tissues can often be pushed slightly by hand.

    Surgery is commonly used, surgery is easier to resect, and metastasis is generally not carried out after surgery.

    Due to the wide variety of carcinogenic factors, such as:Lifestyle habits, chemical factors, biological factors, and viral infectionsTherefore, there are many specific classifications of tumors, and about 14 types of cancer occupy the main part, including:Breast cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, gastric cancerWait.

    Although there are many types of cancer, with the development of medical level, today's tumor diseases are not as terrible as imagined, and about half of the tumors can be **. As long as the patient can diagnose it as early as possible, the disease can be controlled within a certain range, after all, not all tumors are malignant.

    Not all benign tumors are safe, and some benign tumors will become malignant, and once they become malignant, the consequences are the same as malignant tumors. Tumors that are more likely to malignant are thyroid adenoma, breast fibroma, uterine tumor, flat bone fibroma of the gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue fibroma, synovial tumor, ligamentous fibroma, etc. Once these tumors are found, they should also be treated in a timely manner.

    For example, cystic lobular hyperplasia of the breast, moles, scarring lesions in lung tissue or other parts, long-term chronic ulcers, liver cirrhosis, etc., may be associated with the occurrence of malignant tumors. Therefore, chemotherapy is needed for such tumors with a tendency to malignant transformation to inhibit the spread and metastasis of tumor cells.

    Malignant tumors usually do not have an envelope on the outside, and not only do they grow in size, but the malignant cells also infiltrate and spread to the periphery. When it grows to a certain extent, it may cause surface ulceration, or erosion and bleeding, or oozing of odorous fluid, or cause pain. Malignant cells may also spread along lymphatic vessels or blood vessels to other organs and tissues in the body.

    This is called metastasis of cancer.

    Whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, you need to maintain a good attitude, and do not affect your mood because of anxiety and worry, after all, emotions are also one of the factors that lead to the poor effect of the disease. Bad mood is not conducive to recovery from the disease, and can even affect the endocrine system and lead to the deterioration of the disease.

    Tumors include benign tumors and malignant tumors, and the difference between the two is in the following aspects:

    1. There are differences in the nature of tumors and their biological behaviors. The cells of benign tumors have a high degree of differentiation and maturity, which is close to the normal cells of the human body. However, malignant tumors have a poor degree of differentiation, and some are even not differentiated.

    Benign tumors grow slowly, and metastasis and external invasion rarely occur. Malignant tumors grow rapidly and are prone to metastasis and invasion.

    Second, there are differences in clinical manifestations. Benign tumors have fewer clinical manifestations, and only larger tumors cause symptoms due to compression. Malignant tumors cause a series of clinical manifestations due to lesions and metastatic invasion.

    3. There is a difference in the measures of **. Surgical resection can mostly lead to benign tumors, while malignant tumors require surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other means, and there is less chance of obtaining them.

    Benign is still very easy, it has not spread to many cells, and malignant has spread to the blood, so surgery is not possible at all.

    This is because benign tumors do not spread, which is why there is a risk of malignant tumors spreading.

    Difference Between Benign and Malignant Tumors:

    1.Benign tumors: Under normal circumstances, some tissues in the body have abnormal cell proliferation, and the swelling slowly grows, that is, we call slowly expanding and enlarging like blowing up a balloon, and the tumor will squeeze into some normal tissues around it after it grows larger, but it will not harm other normal organs and tissues, which is what we call benign tumors.

    Most of the benign tumors are spherical and nodular, and there is often a thin film around it, which is very different from normal tissues and boundaries, so it is relatively easy to be removed during surgery, and there will be no metastasis of the lesion after removal, so there are few cases.

    2.Malignant tumors: Malignant tumors medically refer to tumors that occur in epithelial tissue, commonly known as cancer.

    Different from benign tumors, malignant tumors will metastasize to expand the scope of infection in the body, and its growth rate is very fast, and it is not easy to be detected in the early stage, it is very easy to spread in the human body, and it will invade the surrounding normal tissues, and form adhesions, which will have a serious impact on the surrounding normal organs and tissues, and often be life-threatening.

    To sum up, we have a basic understanding of the pathological difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors, of course, the biggest difference is whether it can pose a serious threat to our body.

    1.Most benign tumors are expansive growths, from small to large, and generally do not appear distant disseminated metastasis. Malignant tumors are invasive and infiltrative growths, which can invade other normal tissues around them, cause certain damage to the tissues, and also metastasize to various organs of the body through blood-grade lymph.

    2.Growth rate, benign tumors grow relatively slowly, such as lipomas, uterine fibroids, hemangiomas, etc., are benign tumors, and the growth is very slow. Malignant tumors grow rapidly, such as liver cancer and lung cancer.

    3.Benign tumors do not metastasize, malignant tumors tend to metastasize, and can metastasize to other organs through the blood or lymph nodes. This is the most essential difference between benign and malignant tumors.

    It is possible to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors as follows:

    1. Clinical manifestations: Doctors can preliminarily determine the benign and malignant nature of the tumor according to the symptoms shown by the patient. In malignant tumors, there may be local invasion, invasion, or compression that can cause surrounding lesions.

    Corresponding changes occur in the imaging society, and the edges may be unsmooth on CT, and there may be abundant blood flow signals on ultrasound, and enhanced lesions can be observed by contrast-enhanced CT and magnetic resonance. If systemic metastases are found, they are malignant because only malignant tumors can metastasize;

    2. Pathological diagnosis: The gold standard for distinguishing benign and malignant tumors is pathological diagnosis, which requires excision, puncture or endoscopic removal of part of the tissue into the pathology department to make pathological sections and observe under the microscope to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant.

    Tumors are classified as benign and malignant, and from the location of the tumor's growth, that is, which layer of the tissue is located, this needs to be identified by a pathological section. Simple point, benign tumors are tissues that are smooth and well-defined; Malignant tumors are ill-bordered, uneven, and hard tissues.

    Benign tumors and malignant tumors, there is a clear difference, malignant tumors are easy to metastasize, or spread to any part of the body, the degree of deterioration is relatively high, and the impact on the body will be more, when the tumor metastasizes, the body will inexplicably appear pain, will cause pressure or invasion of surrounding organs and tissues, and will also adhesion with surrounding tissues and organs, will find metastatic lesions, if a layer of envelope can be clearly seen around the tumor, and the surrounding organs can also be distinguished, it means that the tumor is benign. When abnormal manifestations occur in the body, it is necessary to go for an examination as soon as possible, and to attract attention, in daily life, it is necessary to pay more attention to the body and pay attention to the abnormal changes in the body.

    The main differences between benign and malignant tumors are the growth rate, prognostic effect, and whether there will be distant metastasis. Benign tumors grow slowly, most of them grow in an expansive manner, and they can achieve a good prognosis after surgical resection, and distant metastasis and spread generally do not occur. The growth rate of malignant tumors is relatively fast, and the prognosis effect is not as good as that of benign tumors.

    There are several ways to distinguish whether a tumor is benign or malignant.

    First, from the imaging point of view, benign tumors generally have clear margins and no invasion; The edges of the malignant tumor are blurred, and there is a phenomenon of peripheral infiltration.

    Second, detect certain tumor markers, benign tumors, generally these tumor markers are not high, and the tumor markers of malignant tumors will be relatively high.

    Third, through nuclide imaging, malignant tumors will be enriched with some nuclides, showing a darker color.

    Fourth, the most accurate indicator is to take a small piece of tumor tissue for pathological examination.

    The difference between benign tumors and malignant tumors is mainly that the occurrence of tumor cells will be different, resulting in the later manifestations of patients and the impact on the human body are also significantly different.

    The details are as follows: 1. Benign tumor: manifested as a local lump with clear surrounding boundaries, and only the lump needs to be removed;

    2. Malignant tumors: mutant cancer cells are not under the normal control of the human body, multiply quickly, and can spread to the whole body with the blood. Cancer cells are defined as cells that lose clonal and regulatory aspects at the genetic level, resulting in abnormal clonal proliferation of cells.

    The cancer cells are very loose from each other, and when they enter the lymph and blood, the cancer will spread, causing the patient's life to be in danger.

    3.Tumors grow at different rates. The growth rate of benign tumors is slower than that of malignant tumors, and some benign tumors will no longer grow in size when they grow to a certain extent, or benign tumors can slowly disappear and decrease through self-healing.

    Malignant tumors are not, some malignant tumors do not grow fast at the beginning, but sometimes in a short period of time, there are definite changes within 3-6 months, and the tumor can double or even several times in size, and then the tumor expands greatly, and the impact on the human body is also very important.
