Question

Which of the following is not a typical difference factor between benign and malignant tumors.
1. Size of the tumor
2. Growth rate
3. Encapsulation
4. Cell differentiation
5.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Size of the tumor

Concept:-

The typical difference factors between benign and malignant tumors are:

S. No.	Characteristics	Benign Tumor	Malignant Tumor
1	Cell Differentiation	Well-differentiated	Tumor growth by infiltration
2	Mode of Growth	Tumor growth by expansion	Tumor growth by infiltration
3	Rate of Growth	Slow Growth	Rapid Growth
4	Encapsulation	Encapsulated	Non- capsulated
5	Metastasis	Does not spread	Present
6	Re- occurrence	Does not reoccur when the tumor is removed.	Chances to reoccur when removed.
7	Prognosis	Good recovery	Poor recovery

• A tumor develops when cells reproduce too rapidly.
• If the cells are not cancerous, the tumor is benign. It will not invade nearby tissue or spread to other areas of the body.
• Malignant tumors are cancers. Cells can grow and spread to other parts of the body.
