Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with malignant ones having the potential to invade and spread.

Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body and can often be removed with surgery or other treatments.

Malignant tumors invade nearby tissues and organs and may spread, making them difficult to treat, unlike benign tumors that don't spread.

Treatment for neoplasms depends on various factors, including the type of tumor, its size and location, and the overall health of the patient.
