What Are the Consequences of Uncontrolled Cell Proliferation?
Uncontrolled cell proliferation can lead to the formation of a mass of cells known as a tumor. Tumors can be benign, meaning they are not invasive and remain localized, or malignant, where they invade surrounding tissues and have the potential to metastasize to distant sites in the body. Malignant tumors are typically more dangerous and more challenging to treat.
