PY - 2013 T2 - Harrison's Hematology and Oncology, 2e AB - Cancers are characterized by unregulated cell growth, tissue invasion, and metastasis. A neoplasm is benign when it grows in an unregulated fashion without tissue invasion. The presence of both features is characteristic of malignant neoplasms. Cancers are named based on their origin: those derived from epithelial tissue are called carcinomas, those derived from mesenchymal tissues are sarcomas, and those derived from hematopoietic tissue are leukemias or lymphomas.
