KARAKTERISTIK KANKER

Karakteristik dari neoplasma

Benigna

Malignant

1.       Grow Slowly 2.       Usually encapsuled 3.       Grow by expandion; do not infiltrate surrounding tissues 4.       Do not spread but remain localized 5.       Do not tend to recur  when removed  surgically 6.       Cell usually closely resemble those of normal tissue from which they arise 7.       Produce minimal tissue destruction 8.       Do not produce typical cahexia 9.       Do not cause death to host except when located in areas where they produce pressure or obstruction to vital organ

1.       Grow rapidly 2.       Rarely encapsuled 3.       Infiltrate surrounding tissues; tumor process extended out in all direction; poorly differentiated from normal tissue 4.       Spread via lymph stream and/or blood and set up secondary tumor in distant sites 5.       Frequently tend to recur after surgical removal as a result of infiltration into surrounding tissue 6.       Cell usually do not resemble those of normal tissue from which they are arise 7.       Produce extensive tissue destruction as result of infiltration and metastatic lession 8.       Produce typical cancer cachexia-anemia, weakness, loss weight and so on 9.       Always cause death unless removed surgically before they metastasize
