A member asked:
If you have a growth after age 30, is that indicative of a tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All growths represent a proliferation in cells to produce a palpable lesion. If the latter has those oncogene mutattions that allow for blood vessel invasion and metastasis as well as telomerase overexpression for immortality then the growth is malignant. If not the growth stops and will not spread, a so called benign umor
