True/False

Answer 1

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancer is uncontrolled growth of the cell and loses the ability of adhesion with the other cells. Two different types of tumor that are well known are benign tumor and malignant tumor.

Neoplasm may be defined as the uncontrolled growth of the tissue that represent the cancer. Neoplasm whether it is benign or malignant involves the new growth of the tissue. The benign and malignant tumor differs on the basis of the growth and their movement in the body but both at least shows the tissue growth and considered as neoplasm.

Thus, the correct answer is true.
