A tumor is a mass of abnormal cells that grow and multiply uncontrollably. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Types of Tumors:

1. Benign Tumors: Non-cancerous growths that don’t invade surrounding tissues. Examples include lipomas, fibroids, and adenomas.

2. Malignant Tumors: Cancerous growths that invade and damage surrounding tissues. Examples include carcinomas, sarcomas, and lymphomas.

3. Primary Tumors: Originate in the organ or tissue where they are found.

4. Secondary Tumors: Metastasize from a primary tumor in another part of the body.Causes and Risk Factors:

1. Genetic Mutations: Inherited or acquired genetic changes can lead to tumor development.

2. Environmental Factors: Exposure to carcinogens, radiation, and viruses can increase tumor risk.

3. Family History: A family history of cancer or certain genetic syndromes can increase tumor risk.

4. Age: Tumor risk increases with age.

Symptoms:

1. Unintentional Weight Loss

2. Fatigue

3. Pain

5. Coughing or Difficulty Swallowing

6. Changes in Bowel or Bladder Habits

1. Imaging Tests: X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and PET scans help diagnose tumors.

2. Biopsy: A tissue sample is examined for cancer cells.

3. Surgery: Removing the tumor and surrounding tissue.

4. Chemotherapy: Using medications to kill cancer cells.

5. Radiation Therapy: Using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.
