2. Malignant Tumors: Cancerous growths that invade and damage surrounding tissues. Examples include carcinomas, sarcomas, and lymphomas.
3. Primary Tumors: Originate in the organ or tissue where they are found.
4. Secondary Tumors: Metastasize from a primary tumor in another part of the body.

Causes and Risk Factors:

1. Genetic Mutations: Inherited or acquired genetic changes can lead to tumor development.
2. Environmental Factors: Exposure to carcinogens, radiation, and viruses can increase tumor risk.
3. Family History: A family history of cancer or certain genetic syndromes can increase tumor risk.
4. Age: Tumor risk increases with age.

4. Chemotherapy: Using medications to kill cancer cells.
5. Radiation Therapy: Using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.
