Substances known to produce or promote cancer are called

• carcinogens.

• kinases

• cyclins.

• malignancies.

Extra Credit: How is a benign tumor different from a malignant tumor?

• Malignant tumors do not spread; cells in a benign tumor break away and spread to other parts of the body

• Benign tumors perform the specialized functions needed by the body; malignant tumors do not.

• Malignant tumors exert pressure on surrounding tissues; benign tumors do not.

• Benign tumors do not spread; cells in a malignant tumor break away and spread to other parts of the body.
