Malignant tumors are a type of tumor that are cancerous, meaning they are able to spread to other parts of the body. These tumors contain cells that are not limited in their growth, which means that, if left unchecked, they will continue to spread until the victim is deceased. Most cancer cells develop their abnormalities by way of environmental factors, but 5 to 10% of cases are due to inherited traits.
