        Malignant
        
        have abnormal # of chromosomes
        
        can be harmful
        
        don't create protein allowing adherence
        
        can break off and go to other places
        
        can perform other jobs when it moves
        
        rapid growth (depends on type)
        
        anaplastic
        
        LEUKEMIA is rapid replication of IMMATURE WBCs. The WBCs cannot function to fight against infection, so pt will have recurring infections.
        
        autonomy = function independently
        
        uncontrolled motility = go where they want
        
        anaplasia = uncontrolled structure/function
        
        Benign
        
        Look similar to parent cells
        
        "slow growing"
        
        have correct # of chromosomes
        
        not necessarily harmful
        
        encapsulated
        
        easier to remove
        
        growth is restricte
        
        helpful for pts who need surgery
