Why is malignant melanoma cancer so dangerous?
By definition CANCER is MALIGNANT - benign is NOT cancer, it is just a growth (tumor).There are three main characteristics typical of malignant (cancer) and benign (non-cancerous), for example:Malignant cancers are usually fast growing (as opposed to benign cancers which are usually slow growing);Malignant cancers invade the tissue, in fact the name cancer means "crab", because it invades the surrounding tissue and looks like a crab (benign cancers are usually encapsulated, therefore, do not invade the surrounding tissue);Malignant cancer cells are undifferentiated, which means that they regress back to simple cells and loose their main functions (benign cancer cells are usually well differentiated).There are exceptions. For example, kidney cancer may look benign because it's usually encapsulated, but it is actually malignant.
How to make a model of cancer for school students?
Compare normal cell division to tumour cell division (which is much faster) - then show how this happens to a group of cells, i.e. becomes larger and pushes on surrounding areas of normal tissue.

What is a hypoechoic nodule in the breast area?
Breast cancer on ultrasound most often shows up as a solid mass, but not all solid masses are cancerous. In fact, the most common solid mass seen is a benign breast tumor (not cancer) called a fibroadenoma. Fibroadenomas are smooth, firm, round masses made up of fibrous and glandular tissue. These fibrous masses can be removed, if desired, but removal is usually not necessary. On ultrasound, a solid mass appears as a gray or hypoechoic area. In order to decide if the mass is suspicious enough to require further testing, your radiologist will look at the edges of the mass, called the margins. If the margins are smooth and the mass is round or oval, it is most likely benign (not cancer). If the edges are irregular, then it is possibly cancer and a biopsy is necessary to determine if cancer cells are present.

What does breast cancer reconstruction imply?
Breast cancer reconstruction implies a surgery performed to repair the appearance of breast tissue to make it look more natural, as it would have before a mastectomy (term for removal of one or both breasts) was performed to remove cancerous tumors or cells. Sometimes breast cancer reconstruction involves only breast implants, other times it is more about the outside aesthetics - such as creating the appearance of nipples where they had been removed.
