Malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of pancreas - what does this mean

Malignant neoplasm is a type of cancer that occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the pancreas and form a mass, or tumor. in this particular case, the tumor is overlapping, meaning that it has grown into and invaded adjacent tissues and organs. this type of growth is particularly aggressive and can quickly spread to other parts of the body.

What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: overlapping lesion of pancreas

Malignant neoplasm of the pancreas is caused by an abnormal growth of cells in the pancreas that have a tendency to invade and spread to other parts of the body. this abnormal growth can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. the cells divide and multiply rapidly, forming an overlapping lesion that can spread to other organs and tissues. this can lead to complications such as organ damage, pain, and other symptoms. treatment options can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these.
