What is "malignancy"?
Malignancy refers to a type of cancer or tumor that is harmful and can spread to other parts of the body. Such tumors grow quickly, invade nearby tissues, and have the potential to affect other areas through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Malignancy is more serious than benign conditions, which are non-cancerous and do not spread.
