Gamma rays, X-rays:
Radio Frequency Ablation is a medical procedure to localy destroy tumor cells. An application is brought near the tumor cells where it induces thermonecrosis.
Acoustic Neuroma is a brain disease in which certain parts of the brain degrade resulting in deafness. There are currently no treatments for this disease other than surgery.
in the 70's it was a tumor on his back had it removed
caused by a change or absence of both of the NF2 tumor suppressor genes in a nerve cell. Every person possesses a pair of NF2 genes in every cell of their body including their nerve cells
usually quite good provided the tumor is diagnosed early and appropriate treatment is instituted. Long term-hearing loss and tinnitis in the affected ear are common, even if appropriate treatment is provided
A cancerous tumor.
A carcinoma is a cancerous tumor.
It is called as malignant tumor.
Treatment can be a combination of surgery, medications used to kill cancer cells (chemotherapy ), and x rays or other high energy rays used to kill cancer cells (radiation therapy)

A mass of abnormal cells is a tumor. Sometimes this is cancer and sometimes not.
Cancerous cells exhibit uncontrolled and inappropriate mitosis. Cancerous cells will often exhibit changed morphology and gene expression profiles, often assuming the shape and gene expression of more immature or more stem-like cells (a process termed de-differentiation). Cancerous cells often exhibit unusual karyotypes. Clinically, the precise identification of a cancerous cell can be difficult and will vary tissue to tissue. Another consideration is that for at least some cancers it is theorized that only a small proportion of cells within a tumor are actively cancerous. These cells are referred to as cancer stem cells. It is theorized that in some cases only a comparatively few cells are genuinely tumor-forming (i.e. uncontrollably dividing) and generating large growths of non-tumor forming cells of the visible tumor. Identifiying these actively tumor-forming cells remains a challenge in oncology.
When a doctor does a biopsy on a suspicious lump, sometimes she discovers it is a "benign tumor" -- the cells are benign, that is, they are not cancerous and have no effect on health.
