Description

Malignant neoplasm is a term used to describe a cancerous tumor that cannot be classified into a specific type. It is usually used when the tumor is too small or too poorly differentiated to be identified as a specific type of cancer. Malignant neoplasms can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. Treatment for malignant neoplasms typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy.
