Neoplasm #

The concept we in STRONG AYA refer to as “Neoplasm” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C3262.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “Neoplasm” and is defined as “A benign or malignant tissue growth resulting from uncontrolled cell proliferation. Benign neoplastic cells resemble normal cells without exhibiting significant cytologic atypia, while malignant cells exhibit overt signs such as dysplastic features, atypical mitotic figures, necrosis, nuclear pleomorphism, and anaplasia. Representative examples of benign neoplasms include papillomas, cystadenomas, and lipomas; malignant neoplasms include carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, and leukemias.”
