The term that describes a tumor becoming progressively worse and life-threatening is "malignant." Malignant tumors are characterized by uncontrolled growth, invasion of surrounding tissues, and the potential to metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. This aggressive behavior distinguishes them from benign tumors, which do not typically pose a severe health risk.
