There are two types of solid tumors: benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous). Tumors can invade the original tissues and, as they develop, cells can move to other parts of the body and lead to other “secondary” tumors, also known as metastases. Carcinomas and sarcoma are examples of solid malignant tumors. Carcinomas are tumors that exist in the cells that form mucous membranes in tissue organs like the liver or kidneys. Sarcomas are tumors that develop in the connective tissues of the body, such as muscles, bones and nerves.
Benign tumors do not spread and do not move in the body. Most are not life-threatening, except for some brain tumors that can still cause inflammation and pressure on the surrounding sensitive tissues. The doctor can perform a biopsy to determine if the tumor is cancerous or benign.
