Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that typically do not spread to other parts of the body and are generally not life-threatening. However, in some cases, they can cause problems by pressing on nearby organs, nerves, or blood vessels, leading to complications. While benign tumors themselves do not directly cause death, associated complications can be serious in certain situations. Regular monitoring and medical intervention can often manage these risks effectively.
