A lump of cancerous tissue is typically referred to as a tumor. Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors, on the other hand, are cancerous growths that have the potential to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body.

What is mass tissue made out of diseased cell called?

Which type of tissue would have a higher mitotic index normal tissue or cancerous tissue?
Cancer cells have higher mitotic index because they have a mutation in the DNA so they reproduce uncontrollably and therefore divide faster which means they have a higher mitotic index. ex. In a normal lung tissue, % of cells dividing is 5% while in a cancerous lung the % of cells divding is 25 %

What is a white lump on the back of a five year olds boxer dogs neck?
While this lump is probably benign, the chance of it being cancerous is too big to ignore. Take the dog to the vet immediately. A cancerous growth on the neck, if it is caught before it metastatises (spreads to other parts of the body, especially internally) probably has a fairly good prognosis as it would not be too difficult to remove all of the cancerous tissue. If you care about your dog, get it to the vet now while there is still a good chance that if it is cancer, it will be curable. I totally agree with the above poster, but wanted to add generally white lumps are called 'fatty lumps' but. this information should NOT deter you from getting your dog in to be sure this lump is non cancerous.

What are the key differences between normal tissue and cancerous tissue?
Normal tissue and cancerous tissue differ in several key ways. Normal tissue follows a controlled growth pattern, while cancerous tissue grows uncontrollably. Normal cells have specific functions and structures, while cancer cells often lack these specialized features. Additionally, normal tissue responds to signals that regulate growth and division, whereas cancerous tissue ignores these signals. Finally, normal tissue typically remains localized, while cancerous tissue can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
