Neoplastic characteristics of cells refer to :
A. A mass of proliferating cell
B. Rapid growth of cells
C. Invasion and damage to the surrounding tissue
D. Those confined to original location
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A A, B only
- B A, B, C only
- C A, B, D only
- D B, C, D only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A, B, C only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The correct answer will include : A, B and C only.
A neoplasm is a general term for any abnormal growth of tissue.
Neoplastic characteristics of cells refer to
(1) A mass of proliferating cell.
(2) Rapid growth of cells.
(3) Invasion and damage to the surrounding tissue.
Cancer specifically refers to malignant neoplasms, which are cancerous and invasive.
Benign tumours remain confined to their original location. Thus, \(D\) is not included in the answer.
The malignant tumours, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells called neoplastic or tumour cells.
These cells grow very rapidly, invading and damaging the surrounding normal tissues.
