What Differentiates Benign from Malignant Tumor Cells?
Benign tumor cells are generally less harmful as they grow slowly and remain localized to their site of origin. They do not invade neighboring tissues or spread to distant parts of the body. Malignant tumor cells, on the other hand, are aggressive and have the potential to invade nearby tissues and metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body. This invasive nature makes malignant tumors particularly dangerous.
