Definitions

A motile living substance without sentience and intellect. A tumour is defined as a complete substance that arises from somatic cells by a process of substantial evolution whereby fitness changes over generations result in sub-populations of non-malignant cells. Common features associated with cancer include unstable genomes, tumour-promoting inflammation, self-sufficiency in growth signals, insensitivity to anti-growth signals, evading cell death, limitless replicative potential, sustained angiogenesis, evasion of the immune system, deregulated metabolism and tissue invasion and metastasis. Synonym: Non-malignant neoplasm.
