A member asked:
What are the chances of a tumor not being cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: A tumor by any other name is a growth. It can be either benign or malignant, differentiated based upon the potential to spread. The best way to determine this is by a tissue biopsy, but we can make better predictions based on the organ of origin, physical exam, and x-ray findings.
