| | TUMOUR - LoveToKnow Article on TUMOUR |
 | | There are some tumours whose histological appearances seem to be on the borderline between the two conditions, and often these are the very cases in which the clinical features give no direct clue to their nature. | | | Foe instance, a small tumour may cause intense pain by pressing on a nerve, or dropsical swelling of a limb by obstructing a vein, or death from suffocation by blocking the larynx. | | | The final and critical test of the connection of an organism with some diseased condition is the production of a similar condition in animals by inoculation of that organism, and this experiment has signally failed with all the suggested cancer parasites. |

| | The Fibromatosis /Desmoid Tumour Site |
| | If the tumour is growing on or near vital structures, your doctor may choose not to attempt surgery but to use radiation or chemotherapy alone. | | | If the tumour is very slow growing and is not causing any other problems, sometimes doctors choose to just monitor it carefully and defer treatment. | | | The current methods of treating aggressive fibromatosis usually involve surgical removal of the tumour, often followed by radiation to kill any remaining tumour cells. |

| | In a benign tumour the cells do not spread to other parts of the body and so are not cancerous. | | | However, if they continue to grow at the original site, they may cause a problem by pressing on the surrounding organs. | | | Normally, the division and growth of cells is orderly and controlled but if this process gets out of control for some reason, the cells will continue to divide and develop into a lump which is called a tumour. |
