A condition characterized by the presence of new growths (tumors).
Formation of a neoplasm or growth (tumour).
an abnormal state, characterized by the growth and development of benign or malignant tumors.
A term meaning new growth; referring to new growth
( new growth) Refers to a cancerous condition when cells lose their normal control over division.
the pathological process that results in the formation and growth of a tumor
The formation of a tumor, uncontrolled cell growth.
the growth of cells under conditions that would tend to prevent the development of normal tissue (e.g., a cancer)
The new, and abnormal development of cells that may be benign or malignant.
abnormal cell growth that may be precancerous.
Neoplasia means an abnormal growth of cells.
the abnormal growth of new tissue, consisting of a NEOPLASM or tumor.

(nee-o-play-zi-ah) -- New tissue growth caused by anything from a simple thickening of uterine tissue to, in rare cases, a pre-cancerous or cancerous condition.
Abnormal and uncontrolled cell growth.
A "new growth" of the body's own cells no longer under normal physiologic control. These may be "benign" or "malignant." Benign neoplasms are typically tumors (lumps or masses) that, if removed, never bother the patient again. Even if they are not removed, they are not capable of destroying adjacent organs or "seeding" out to other parts of the body. Malignant neoplasms, or "cancers," are those whose natural history (i.e., behavior if untreated) is to cause the death of the patient. Malignancy is expressed by 1) local invasion, in which the neoplasm extends into vital organs and interferes with their function, and/or 2) METASTASIS, in which cells from the tumor seed out to other parts of the body and then grow into tumors themselves.
The process of abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. The product of neoplasia is a neoplasm (a tumor).
Neoplasia (new growth in Greek) is abnormal, disorganized growth in a tissue or organ, usually forming a distinct mass. Such a growth is called a neoplasm, also known as a tumor.
