What is the difference between tumor and cancer?

You first get the tumor. If you don't get it removed, it then becomes cancer.

Not all tumors are cancer, not all cancers form tumors.

Tumors are lumps, and may or may not be cancerous.

Cancer is a disease characterised by abnormal cell development which may or may not form a tumor.


happy with who i am
a tumor is just a growth of too many cells. Cancer is when the cells start to multiply rapidly but don't have time to cleanse out the old cells. Not all tumors are maligment. many are just benign

hope i was of some assistants

You can have a benign tumor, which means that yes, you have a tumor. The word "benign" means that it is NOT cancerous. Of course, you can also have a tumor that is not benign, meaning it is cancerous. That's the basic difference.

Tumors are either malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous). Once it is removed a biopsy is performed and the cells collected will tell the doctor if it's cancer or not. There is no other way to tell. I had a tumor removed. It was benign. Most tumors are.

Essentially a tumor is a malformation of cells, not necessarily cancer cells, but can progress to cancer if it is a certain tumor, or in certain locations, as cancer is a malformation of cells that change, this change is what leads to the cancerous disease. Sometimes tumors are nothing more than scar tissue, or a hyperplasia, depending on location and problems it is causing it is best to watch any tumors for changes that could indicate cancer.


hot.buddy
A tumor is basically an abnormal growth or swelling of something. Tumors can be benign, that is, non-cancerous. An example of this would be a lipoma, which often manifest as fatty encapsulated lumps beneath the skin of the arms, neck or back. They are unsightly, but do no harm.

A cancer is a malignant growth, and this can be distinguished by whether or not it grows in an 'aggressive' manner, invades surrounding tissues and metastasizes to other areas of the body. cancer is literally runaway cell growth, the cellular replication machinery is unable to shut down.
Some benign tumors can compromise health, if they grow large enough to compress or obstruct other organs, like adrenal gland tumors, pituitary tumors and uterine fibromas.
