Tumor

Tumors, also called neoplasms, are a group of cells that grow abnormally, forming lumps. Tumors can start anywhere in the body, affecting bones, tissues and organs. There are three types of tumors: benign (benign, non-invasive growth), malignant (malignant, cancerous and invasive growth) and pre-malignant (potentially malignant) tumors. Malignant tumors are also referred to as cancer.

Risk factors for tumors include infectious diseases, immune disorders, toxin exposure, (silent) inflammation, micronutrient deficiencies or metabolic disorders. An unhealthy lifestyle also plays a major role. This includes an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking. Conventional treatments include invasive surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In integrative medicine, for example, hyperthermia, fever therapy and mistletoe therapy are used.

A tumor can have serious health consequences and should be thoroughly investigated by an experienced doctor. An individually adapted, cause-oriented treatment can be the ideal choice for many people affected by a tumor.
