Tumoregenesis
Hyperplasia
Involves the multiplication of cells in an organ or tissue, which may consequently have increased in volume.
Tumors remain at the primary site and present a smaller risk to the host
Benign
Benign: At this stage the patient stands a good chance of being successfully treated by the complete removal of the tumor .Early detection is critical to cancer prevention in general to high risk families in particular. True or false?
True
Neoplasia
Involves the possibility of normal cells undergoing cancerous proliferation. Unregulated and serves no purpose. Pathologic hyperplasia
