- A cancer is a group of abnormal cells, known as a tumour, that grows uncontrollably. Cancerous tumours invade and destroy surrounding tissue. Not all tumours are cancerous. Benign tumours, which are not cancerous, do not invade and destroy tissue. However, a benign tumour may grow very large. Cancerous tumours may shed cancer cells that spread to other parts of the body, which is called a metastasis. Benign tumours do not spread in this way. |
