Definition
A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Malignant cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
Causes
The first symptoms of tumors that start in your stomach (abdomen) might come from problems the tumor causes, such as blocking your stomach or bowels.
Stages
The tumor’s size.
The tumor’s original location.
Whether the tumor has spread, and where it has spread.
The tumor’s grade, or how the tumor’s cells appear when viewed under a microscope. A tumor’s grade is how healthcare providers determine how quickly a tumor might grow or spread. For example, a low-grade tumor is likely to grow and spread less quickly than higher-grade tumors
