What is the difference between a tumor that is benign and one that is malignant?
Benign tumors are not cancerous. Malignant means it is made up of cancerous cells.A benign tumor is an abnormal growth that is not cancerous in nature and cannot spread. Many conditions can cause a lump or growth that is not cancer. Although a benign tumor has no cancerous cells, it can still present problems depending on location. For example, if it is located in the head, it can cause blockage of blood flow to important arteries and veins, or it can cause pressure on the brain.Cancer is when a cell or a bunch of cells becomes messed up and divides beyond normal limits, invades and destroys neighbouring tissues, and sometimes spreads to other tissues/organs through lymph or blood. A benign tumor is one that only divides beyond normal limits. This is what forms a tumor in the first place because the cell doesn't understand when it should stop dividing. It keeps replicating and thus forms a tumor. Benign means the tumor is not considered "cancer". You can have a benign tumor with cancerous cells, but you will not have cancer.Benign tumors usually stay at the site and malignant tumors stray to other parts of the body using the bloodstream or lymphatic system.(As a side note not all cancers form tumors, like leukemia)Sometimes a benign tumor may give rise to a malignant one which is why it is recommended you see your health care provider about spots or moles, in case you should get them removed. Certain spots you may have thought nothing of could potentially be dangerous, while that mole you were obsessing over could be harmless.Benign tumor is an abnormal but noncancerous cell mass or growth and Malignant tumor is a cancerous mass of cells Benign tumors have capsules, and does not spread to other organs..when malignant ones do not have capsules and can spread.

How are the growth of a tumor and the repair of a scrape on your knee similar and different?
Both tumor growth and wound healing involve cell proliferation and tissue remodeling. However, in the case of a tumor, the cell growth is uncontrolled and can potentially spread to other parts of the body, whereas in wound healing, the process is tightly regulated and localized to the site of injury. Additionally, tumors lack the ability to differentiate and form organized tissue, while wound healing aims to restore the original tissue structure and function.
