A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should.

A malignant neoplasm is cancerous, and may spread to other parts of the body. A benign neoplasm is not cancerous. It may cause problems locally, but does not spread.
Benign means it is not long-lasting. If you are talking about neoplasms or cancers, Benign means the tumor cannot undergo metastasis, whereas a Malignant tumor can and develop into advanced stages of Cancer.

What distinguishes cancer cells from the cells of benign neoplasms?

Cancer cells differ from those of benign neoplasms primarily in their uncontrolled growth and ability to invade surrounding tissues. While benign neoplasms are typically localized and do not metastasize, cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Additionally, cancer cells often exhibit genetic mutations that lead to abnormal cell behavior, including evasion of apoptosis and enhanced angiogenesis. These characteristics contribute to the aggressive nature of malignant tumors compared to benign ones.


What type of neoplasm is likely to invade other body tissues and spread to other parts of the body?

Malignant neoplasms, such as carcinomas and sarcomas, have the propensity to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
