What is a malignant tumor

Many people have heard of malignant tumors and understand the harmfulness and severity of this disease. In fact, malignant tumors are caused by abnormalities in the function of controlling cell growth. This disease is very scary. It will not only cause great harm to our health, but also threaten our lives. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with malignant tumors must treat the disease in time and never miss the best time, otherwise it will only cause us to suffer more serious injuries.

In fact, if malignant tumors are treated in the early stages, the difficulty of treatment can be reduced and some pain can be reduced. However, if the disease develops into an advanced stage, the difficulty of treatment will increase significantly, which will pose a great threat to us.

Clinically, malignant tumors are a serious chronic disease that is currently very difficult to treat. If tumors are treated in the early stages, the cure rate is still quite high due to the low malignancy and small size of the tumor, and the use of surgical treatment and other methods. For cancer patients, cancer treatment method is always the most concerned issue for them, because it is related to their lives. Choosing appropriate cancer treatment method may prolong the patient's life.

The structure and function of malignant tumor cells are very different from those of corresponding normal cells. They have strange morphology and weakened, enhanced or lost functions. The tumor grows rapidly, often invading the surrounding normal tissues, and has unclear boundaries. Tumor cells can easily fall off the tumor and travel to other places through lymphatic vessels, blood vessels or other cavities to form new metastatic tumors.

In addition to causing compression and obstruction symptoms, malignant tumors may also be accompanied by bleeding, necrosis, fever, etc. Many patients with malignant tumors, especially in the late stages of the disease, may become extremely emaciated, a condition known as cachexia. Because malignant tumors grow in an invasive manner, they are difficult to completely remove and are prone to recurrence after surgery. In addition, the tumors often metastasize to local lymph nodes or spread throughout the body, making them difficult to completely cure and ultimately often leading to the patient's death.

This is the end of the explanation about what malignant tumors are. With the continuous improvement of our country's medical level in recent years, the methods of treating malignant tumors have also increased a lot. However, we need to pay attention to the fact that we must ensure scientific methods when choosing, so that it can help our condition and enable us to say goodbye to the key factor of malignant tumor damage as soon as possible.
