Examples of Benign cells
o Skin Tag
o Mole
o Nasal Polyp
o Uterine Fibroids
o Endometriosis
Malignant cells
indicates cancer and can be harmful to normal body tissues and result in death

Cancer development stages of malignancy

,o Initiation
o Promotion
o Progression
o Metastasis
Initiation (Stage of malignancy)
Normal cells are damaged and irreversible
Promotion
Repeated exposure>Enhances growth of malignant cells
Progression
Increase in production of malignant cells
Metastasis

Carcinogenesis/oncogenesis
cancer development
Cancer classification
o Grading
o Ploidy
o Staging
o TNM
