What is malignity?

Malignity means the state or quality of being malignant, which refers to the presence of a tumor that is cancerous or has the potential to become cancerous. Malignant cells are characterized by their ability to invade surrounding tissue and spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymphatic system. They can be fast-growing and typically do not respond to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Malignity is a serious medical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent the spread of cancer cells and increase the chances of survival. Some of the common types of malignancies include leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. Treatment options typically include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
