Head Tumor Symptoms
3. Malignant
Malignant tumors, however, are a much bigger problem. Malignant tumors can begin to overtake nearby tissues in addition to their original host tissues. In addition, malignant tumor cells will sometimes break away from the original tumor and end up in the bloodstream. When they eventually settle elsewhere, they can form a whole new tumor, and this can occur numerous times in the body.
That malignant tumors will overtake nearby tissues makes them a lot harder to treat than benign tumors. They are also more likely to return after being removed and are much more of a threat to the patients life.
