Currently, there are many organs in the body that can be affected by tumors. But not all benign tumors require immediate treatment when discovered. If the tumor is too small and there is no current effect on how the organs work, treatment can sometimes be more risky than leaving the tumor alone.
If the tumor needs to be treated, the treatment will depend on the location of the benign tumor. For example, after being diagnosed with a benign thyroid tumor, most of them follow up with an endocrinologist periodically and follow up on ultrasound every 3 to 6 months.
1. Are benign tumors dangerous?
A benign tumor, also known as a benign tumor, is a noncancerous growth in the body. Unlike cancerous tumors they do not metastasize to other parts of the body. Therefore, most benign tumors are very rarely dangerous, only a very rare rate becomes malignant after a period of development.Benign tumors can form in any organ in the body. When you discover a lump you can feel from the outside like when women find a lump in the breast during a self-exam they may immediately think it is cancer. However, most breast tumor growths are benign. And in fact there are many tumor growths throughout the body that are benign.
2. Causes of benign tumors
This is a question that many people want to know, especially those who have and have had a tumor.The exact cause of a benign tumor remains unknown. Tumors occur when cells in the body divide and grow at an excessive rate. Normally, the body can control the growth and division of cells in the organs. When old cells or cells die, they are automatically replaced by new healthy cells that grow in their place. In the case of a tumor, dead cells remain and a tumor forms.
Cancer cells grow in a similar way. However, it is not the same as the cells in benign tumors. These cancer cells can invade and metastasize to other nearby organs of the body, even at a late stage, the whole body metastasizes.
Depending on the location and size of the tumor it can cause symptoms that can affect the function of the organs. Symptoms may be encountered when there is a benign tumor such as:
Chills Pain Discomfort, fatigue. Fever, night sweats. Loss of appetite. Sudden weight loss.
Các triệu chứng có thể gặp khi có khối bướu lành tính bao gồm ớn lạnh, khó chịu, mệt mỏi,...
3. Benign tumor what to do?
Not all benign tumors necessarily require immediate treatment.If treated, the treatment will depend on the location of the benign tumor. Tumors may be removed for cosmetic reasons. Other tumors that can affect organs, nerves, or blood vessels are often surgically removed to prevent more problems from arising.
Tumor surgery is usually done using laparoscopic techniques which means tools contained in tubular devices. This technique requires smaller incisions and requires less healing time.
If the tumor cannot be safely reached with surgery, radiation therapy may be used to reduce the size of the tumor or prevent it from growing larger.
If the tumor is benign without any complications, you don't necessarily need surgery and remove it, you can go for regular health check-ups according to specialties such as thyroid tumor, endocrine examination or ultrasound to make sure. prevent the tumor from growing larger.
Although not a dangerous tumor, in some special cases, benign tumors can cause other complications and loss of aesthetics.
