Malignant neoplasm: ill-defined sites within the digestive system - what does this mean
Malignant neoplasm is a type of cancer which occurs when abnormal cells in the digestive system grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass of tissue which can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. ill-defined sites within the digestive system can be indicative of malignant neoplasm, and should be monitored closely as they can spread to other parts of the body.
What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: ill-defined sites within the digestive system
