All cells, in any type of tissue, can become cancerous. Scientists still do not understand what triggers a healthy cell to "turn on" and become hyperactive and grow into cancer. Since all cancers begin as an over-creation of cells, doctors are certainly concerned about benign tumors. While not all benign tumors become cancerous, every benign tumor certainly has the potential of becoming cancerous. This is why doctors suggest first testing on abnormal cell growth, such as a darkening of the skin or hyperplasia on the cervix, and recommend regular follow-up testing on benign tumors or suggest the benign tumor be removed as soon as possible.
