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.
