How are tumor cells different from normal cells?
Cell division is not regulated in tumor cells.
How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?
That a benging tumor does not metastasize.
Is breast cancer infectious?
Not likely in any feasible method. The best way to put it is that it would be rather difficult to become infected by another individual with cancer. There is a phenomenon called metastasis. Only malignant tumor cells and infections have the established capacity to metastasize. Essentially what occurs is that cancer cells can "break away", "leak", or "spill" from a primary tumor, enter lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and settle down to grow within normal tissues elsewhere in the body. When tumor cells metastasize, the new tumor is called a secondary or metastatic tumor, and its cells are like those in the original tumor. This means, for example, that, if breast cancer metastasizes to the lungs, the secondary tumor is made up of abnormal breast cells, not of abnormal lung cells. The tumor in the lung is then called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer. Although metastasis only refers to within an individual (i.e. infectious spread of cancer cells within their own body), it is completely conceivable that by taking up the metastatic cancerous cells into a syringe and injecting them into another immuno-compromised individual, that cancer can be spread to that individual. Although this is highly unlikely, it could be spread by shared needles.
What is the medical term meaning compression of surrounding cells by the tumor cells?
Mass effect is the term for the compression of surrounding cells by tumor cells.
A malignant tumor is a mass of cells that?
A malignant tumor is a mass of cells that invades and distroys healthy tissue.
Is brain tumor non-infectious?
It is not infectious.
How are tumor cells different cells?
Mitosis is not regulated in tumor cells
How are tumor cells different from normal cells?
Cell division is not regulated in tumor cells.
How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?
That a benging tumor does not metastasize.
Is a Wilms tumor infectious or noninfectious?
Wilms tumor is a cancerous tumor (noninfectious). It is a leading cause of cancer in young children, affecting the kidney and its development.

Is brain tumor a non communicable disease or genetic or infectious?
non communicable...
What is the medical term meaning tumor of immature bone cells?
Osteosarcoma is the medical term meaning tumor of immature bone cells.
What does malignant neoplasm progression mean?
Malignant (very virulent or infectious) Neoplasm (abnormal gorwth of cells). It is sometimes defined as cancer. Technically, Malignant Neoplastic Progession is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells or tissue which eventually forms a tumor.
A malignant tumor is a mass of cells that?
A malignant tumor is a mass of cells that invades and distroys healthy tissue.
Can brain tumor cells transit through blood vessels?
Some can, not all. If the tumor contains cells that can it will metastasize.
