Cysts and tumours are abnormal growths that can appear in a variety of bodily tissues. While they may appear similar, they have different characteristics, causes, and treatment techniques.
The difference between cysts and tumours
Infections, obstructions, or persistent inflammation can all cause cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs. Cysts can form in soft tissues, bones, or organs and are often noncancerous (benign). They may contain fluid, air, or semi-solid substances, and if they grow too large or become infected, they can cause discomfort.
A tumour, on the other hand, is an abnormal mass of tissue formed by uncontrolled cell proliferation. Tumours can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumours can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other regions of the body, necessitating a more rigorous therapy.
Causes and Symptoms Tumours are caused by changes in genes, long-lasting inflammation, or exposure to the environment, while cysts can grow because of infections, genetic problems, or blocked ducts.
e. Symptoms vary by location but may include swelling, discomfort, or visible lumps.
Treatment Options:
The type and severity of the condition determine the appropriate treatment. Cysts can be drained or surgically removed, whereas malignant tumours may require biopsy, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Early diagnosis is critical for effective therapy.
