An infiltrative tumor is a type of cancerous growth that invades surrounding tissues, making it difficult to distinguish its boundaries from healthy tissue. This invasive characteristic allows the tumor to spread more easily, leading to a higher likelihood of metastasis. Infiltrative tumors can affect various organs and often require aggressive treatment due to their potential to disrupt normal function and spread throughout the body. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes.

What are smooth cancer margins?
Smooth cancer margins refer to the edges of a tumor that are well-defined and free of cancerous cells upon examination after surgical removal. This indicates that the surgery successfully excised the tumor with a clear boundary, minimizing the likelihood of residual cancerous tissue left behind. In contrast, irregular or infiltrative margins may suggest that cancer cells could remain, potentially increasing the risk of recurrence. Smooth margins are generally associated with a better prognosis.
