What does it mean when a tumor is benign?
When a tumor is benign, it means that it does not have the ability to invade the other cells in the body. Moles and warts are examples of such tumors.
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.

What does Staging a tumor mean?
Staging a tumor is assessing the extent of tumor spread. It's described in numbers, usually 1 through 4. For example, you might have heard someone say that a person has stage 4 cancer, which is when the cancer has metastasized and spread to other organs or throughout the body. When a malignancy is diagnosed, tests are performed to assess whether it has metastasized (spread to other locations) and also to see how differentiated the tumor cells are (this is referred to as grading the tumor). So staging = assessing tumor spread and grading = assessing degree of differentiation.
What is the difference between the scirrhous cancer and the encephaloid cancer?

Why is the prognosis of cancer best when there is no detectable spread from region of the primary tumor to the lymph nodes?
Cancer cells that break free from the primary tumor can metastasize via the lymph system. Non-metastasized cancer is easier to treat.
What is the difference between a Residual tumor and granulation tissue?
The difference between the two is that granulation tissue is tissue that forms in the process of wound healing while residual tumor is either a benign or malignant growth that is still present after some type of tumor removal surgery. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the two and MRIs are often used for this problem.
What is TIN2MO?
T refers to the tumor size. N refers to what lymph nodes are affected. M refers to whether it has metastasized. T1N2M0 would be a small tumor that has spread to some lymph nodes but has not broken off and travelled to distant parts of the body. Exactly what it means varies according the tumor.
