The correct answer is: Benign tumors remain confined to their original location while malignant tumors invade and damage surrounding normal tissues
Benign tumors remain confined to their original location and do not spread to other parts of the body. They cause little damage. On the other hand, malignant tumors are a mass of proliferating cells that grow rapidly, invade and damage surrounding normal tissues, and spread to other parts of the body.
