Question: 1 / 500

What type of tumor is considered non-cancerous and typically does not spread?

Malignant

Benign

The correct answer is benign. Benign tumors are characterized by their non-cancerous nature, meaning they do not invade nearby tissues or metastasize to other parts of the body. These tumors can grow in size but typically remain localized, posing far less risk than malignant tumors. They are usually easier to treat and often do not require aggressive interventions.

In contrast, malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread to surrounding tissues and other organs, leading to more severe health issues. Carcinogenic refers to substances or agents that can cause cancer, not a type of tumor itself. Metastatic tumors arise when cancer spreads from the original (primary) site to other parts of the body, further emphasizing the difference between benign and malignant growths.
