Malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue - what does this mean

Malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue is a type of cancer that occurs when abnormal cells in the connective and soft tissues of the body grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass or tumor. these abnormal cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue and can spread to other parts of the body.

What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue

Malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue is caused by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the connective and soft tissue of the body. this abnormal growth is caused by mutations in the dna of the cells, which can be caused by exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, or viruses. these mutations cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass of tissue known as a tumor. the tumor can then spread to other parts of the body, invading and destroying normal tissue.
