Question

uncontrolled cell division can lead to the formation of masses of cells that can remain in place called ____ tumors or ones that can move called ___ tumors

Answer 1

Answer:

Uncontrolled cell division can lead to the formation of masses of cells that can remain in a place called primary tumors or ones that can move called metastatic tumors.

Explanation:

The term primary tumor refers to the original tumor, a place where the tumor first appeared.

Metastatic tumors are tumors that appear in other organs and originate from the primary tumor. Tumor cells can break away from the primary tumor and travel to other locations in the body through the blood or lymph system and form new tumors. This is how metastatic tumors appear.

For example, a brain tumor is a primary tumor if it first appeared in the brain. A metastatic brain tumor is a tumor that appeared in another organ and then spread to the brain.
