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.

Were can fibroids grow?
The uterus is the female reproductive organ that holds the fetus during pregnancy. When you're not pregnant, your uterus is about the size and shape of an upside-down pear. The inner walls of the uterus are lined by the endometrium, a layer of tissue, which nourishes the fetus during pregnancy. In a woman who is not pregnant, this lining is shed each month as her menstrual flow. The walls of the uterus are made up of smooth muscle. The contraction of this muscle tissue allows a woman to give birth.Fibroids are non-cancerous tumours, which develop on or in this muscle layer. The medical name for fibroids is uterine leiomyomas. A fibroid can be as small as an apple seed or as large as a melon. Doctors talk about the size of a uterus enlarged by fibroids the same way they talk about the size of a pregnant uterus. So when a fibroid stretches the uterus to a 12- to 14-week size, the uterus is about the same size it would be if you were 12 to 14 weeks pregnant. This refers to a fibroid about the size of a small melon, or to several smaller fibroids.
