what is NEOPLASIA?

Neoplasia means literally “New Growth“. It is the growth of transformed cells which are oblivious to normal regulatory influences but still depend on the host blood supply and nutrition.

Type 1-Benign

Benign neoplasms are non-cancerous growths that arise from uncontrolled but highly organized cell proliferation. They tend to grow slowly, remain well-differentiated, and stay localized without invading surrounding tissues or spreading to distant sites. Although they can become large and may compress nearby structures—causing discomfort or functional problems—they typically have clear borders and are often encapsulated, making surgical removal straightforward. Overall, benign neoplasia carries an excellent prognosis, and recurrence is uncommon when fully excised.

Type 2- Malignant

Malignant neoplasms, or cancers, arise when cells acquire the ability to grow uncontrollably, invade neighboring tissues, and metastasize to distant organs. These tumors often display poor differentiation, rapid growth, and genetic instability. Unlike benign tumors, malignant neoplasms infiltrate surrounding structures, destroy normal tissue, and spread through blood or lymphatic pathways, making them far more dangerous. Management usually requires a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapies. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes, but untreated malignant neoplasia can be life-threatening due to its aggressive behavior.
