How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?

Malignant tumor cells are cancerous, tend to grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and can be life-threatening. Benign tumor cells are non-cancerous, grow slowly, do not invade nearby tissues, and are typically not life-threatening.


Do tumor cells have cell walls or a membrane?

Tumor cells, like all animal cells, have a cell membrane but do not possess a cell wall. The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell and plays a role in cell signaling and interaction with the environment. In contrast, plant cells and some prokaryotic cells have rigid cell walls that provide structural support, which is not the case for tumor cells.


How do cancer cell form tumor in other tissues?

Cancer cells can form tumors in other tissues through a process called metastasis, where they break away from the primary tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and invade other organs or tissues in the body. They can then proliferate and grow in these new locations, forming secondary tumors.

What is a disseminated adenocarcinoma?

This type of tumor is more commonly found in colon, lung, and breast cancer. Disseminated I assume just means that it is widely spread.
