A member asked:
If a tumor is benign, can it still cause health problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tumors: Benign or malignant occupy space. If that causes normal function to be upset, it needs to go if possible. Malignant tumors cause trouble by local growth, but nasty habit of traveling elsewhere to many places, occupy 'space', cause dysfunction, and kill.
