tumorový

Tumorové refers to anything related to a tumor. A tumor, also known as a neoplasm, is an abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. They can still cause problems if they grow large enough to press on organs or other structures. Malignant tumors are cancerous and can invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process called metastasis.

The cause of tumor formation is complex and often involves genetic mutations that disrupt normal cell growth and division. These mutations can be inherited or acquired due to environmental factors such as exposure to carcinogens, radiation, or certain viruses. The study of tumors is called oncology. Diagnosis typically involves medical imaging, biopsies, and laboratory tests. Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as whether it is benign or malignant. Common treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Early detection and treatment often lead to better outcomes for malignant tumors.
