Neoplasia refers to the growth of abnormal cells. When those cells form a mass, that mass is called "neoplasm".
In neoplasia the cells are produced uncontrollably, meaning, more of them are produced as needed, and they have less time to differentiate (mature) into proper, functional cells.
Neoplasm are considered to be either benign (not malignant), or malignant (cancerous)
Benign neoplasm:
- the cells produced more slowly,
- have more time to differentiate, (cells are more able to function)
- the proliferation (cell production) might even stop or revert
- the formed mass could be enclosed in a capsule, (which could prevent spreading = metastasis)
- might only be one mass.
Malignant neoplasm:
- cells produced rapidly,
- have less time to differentiate (cells can't function)
- does not have a capsule,
- the mass invades the neighbouring tissues
- cells can break off, carried away by blood
- break off cell stops at other part of the body, where it starts an another mass (secondary tumour).
Haematologic cancers (cancers affecting blood cells) do not form a mass, the blood cells would incontrolably proliferate.
While the nature of the neoplasm could be differentiated as above, many health professionals do not regard neoplasm as "non-cancerous".

What is small unwanted growth in the body is called as?
A small unwanted growth in the body is typically referred to as a "tumor" or "growth." Tumors can be either benign or malignant, with benign tumors being non-cancerous and malignant tumors being cancerous. Treatment will vary depending on the type and location of the growth.
What is non-cancerous growth of the prostate called?
A non-cancerous growth of the prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition leads to an enlargement of the prostate gland and can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, especially at night, and difficulty urinating. While BPH is non-cancerous, it can still cause issues and may require treatment.
When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division they form tissue mass known as?
When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division, they can form tissue masses known as tumors. Tumors can be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
What have cancerous cells lost the ability to control?

State the name given to agents that increase the chances of cancerous growth?
Carcinogens or mutagens
Is cancer neoplasia same disease?
Neoplasia is an abnormal growth of cells. Neoplasia can be benign, where it does not invade other organs or tissues, or it can be malignant, where is can invade other organs or tissues. Cancer, is a malignant neoplasia. Therefore Cancer is a form of neoplasia, but neoplasia is not always Cancer.
What is newplasm?
Newplasm refers to a pathological growth of tissue, commonly associated with neoplasia, which is the process of abnormal cell growth that can lead to tumors. Neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they arise from the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. The term is often used in medical and biological contexts to discuss conditions related to cancers and other growth disorders.
What is Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia?
