healthy tissue is less likely to be attacked by a benign
tumor and is not spread to nearby body parts because the
tumor is not destructive. This type of tumor can be
cured and also less likely to relapse. The other tumor
types, the cancer tumor has the opposite properties over benign tumors, they are
destructive and the damage is very high. They change the living cells into malignant
cells in the surrounding area. And the worst, they can
