Tumors and cancers

People often do not differentiate between tumors and carcinomas. Namely, tumor is a general term used for growths that have benign (benign) or malignant (malignant) characteristics. The most common forms of benign tumors are cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, polyps. However, carcinoma, that is cancer, represents a malignant change, that is, a dangerous change that tends to spread. Cancer can include the cervix, vulva, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and breast and is manifested by the appearance of swelling, bleeding, and pain. There are several methods of diagnosing cancer and tumors: biopsies, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, galactography, and Papanicolaou test. Carcinomas are most often treated with surgery to remove them and prevent their spread. In the case of diseases such as cancer, the success of the cure is increased precisely by diagnosing it as early as possible, and therefore it is very important to regularly visit a gynecologist.
