| | Malignant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The change of cells from benign to malignant behavior is called malignant transformation. | | | However, often the physician during the history and physical examination can find that there have been changes in size or patient sensation and upon direct examination that there has been a change in the lesion itself. | | | It is typically applied to neoplasms that show aggressive behavior characterised by local invasion or distant metastasis. |

| | The MSDS HyperGlossary: Malignancy |
| | Malignancies have a tendency to metastasize (spread to other parts of the body) easily, making the treatment difficult and resulting in poor chances for survival. | | | Malignant cancers are ultimately fatal in the vast majority of cases. | | | Avoid the use of the material if at all possible, especially if you have other risk factors for a particular kind of cancer (family history, being overweight, smoking etc.). |

| | Studies performed over the last two decades have demonstrated an increased incidence of malignancy in primary immunodeficiency diseases; however, it has also become clear that the concept of immune surveillance cannot be fully accepted on the evidence from these studies. | | | The authors conclude that an increased tendency for malignant changes to occur, rather than a decreased capacity to eliminate malignant cells through immunologic surveillance mechanisms, seems to be the most likely mechanism of oncogenesis in patients with immunodeficiency disease or autoimmune disease; support is presented for this conclusion. | | | The types of malignancy that occur as a complication of some immunodeficiency diseases are similar to those that may complicate some autoimmune diseases, particularly connective tissue diseases. |
