Deadly form of skin cancer
30
Metastatized
Cancer spreading to other parts of the body (using blood bessels)
31
Tumor
A lump of cells that didn't divide properly and serve no function in the body
32
Bengin Tumor
The safe type of tumor, doesn't spread, doesn't invade neighboring cells but does push them out of the way Harmless unless it's found in the brain
33
Malignant tumor
Cancerous tumor, risk of death, can spread to other parts of the body through metastatis
