Significance of Malignant Tumour
A malignant tumour, or cancerous growth, is characterized by uncontrolled cell division with the ability to invade, damage, and spread to surrounding healthy tissues. These aggressive tumours, identified through methods like scintimammography and histopathological examination, pose diagnostic and treatment challenges. They can result from genetic alterations, exhibit increased glucose consumption, and have varying prognoses based on factors like mast cell abundance. They are a leading cause of death in some patient populations, and plant-derived substances may play a role in their management.

Hindu concept of 'Malignant Tumour'
In Hinduism, a Malignant Tumour signifies a cancerous growth, mirroring Galen's "Carcinos." It disrupts bodily systems, hindering tissue repair and leading to severe health decline.
From: Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences
(1) This refers to a cancerous growth characterized by the potential to spread and invade other tissues, which Galen used to describe with the term Carcinos.[1] (2) Malignant tumours are very harmful because all the three major bodily systems lose mutual coordination and thus cannot prevent tissue damage, resulting in a deadly morbid condition.[2]
The concept of Malignant Tumour in scientific sources
Malignant tumors are cancerous growths characterized by uncontrolled cell division, invasiveness, and potential metastasis. They can cause death and pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, but can be managed by substances from plants.
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) These are tumors that may result from multi-step genetic alterations, including activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.[3] (2) These types of tumors account for a small percentage of all reported cases, and there is no established guideline for managing them due to limited data.[4] (3) This is another term used for cancer, which is the uncontrolled growth of cells that can invade healthy tissue and spread to distant sites in the body, and these cells ignore normal growth and death signals.[5] (4) These are tumors that are usually aggressive and require extensive resection to prevent recurrence, which can cause defects in the chest wall and hence respiratory mechanics.[6] (5) This is a cancerous growth that can be identified using scintimammography, and is seen by the intense uptake of Tc-99m Sestamibi at its site.[7]
From: South African Journal of HIV Medicine
(1) These were identified as a common underlying cause of death in the study, particularly in the virally suppressed individuals.[8] (2) These tumors are the most common cause of death in patients with NF 1, as stated in the text provided.[9] (3) The cancerous growths that can spread to other parts of the body, with oesophageal cancer being one example.[10]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) Individuals with other types of these were excluded from the study.[11] (2) Substances isolated from plants play a significant role in managing malignant tumours.[12]
From: Journal of Medicinal Plants for Economic Development
(1) These are tumors that E. purpurea was traditionally used for the treatment of, along with respiratory infections.[13]
From: South African Journal of Physiotherapy
(1) Cancerous growths in the spine, mouth, and rectum, which can occur in young patients aged 18 to 25 years.[14]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) Malignant tumours are cancerous growths, and chemotherapy is presented as a traditional treatment method for these conditions, with challenges arising from individual patient differences.[15]
