Explanation:

Question 1

Benign tumors are non - cancerous, grow slowly, don't invade nearby tissues, and don't spread. Malignant tumors are cancerous, grow rapidly, invade nearby tissues, and can metastasize (spread to other parts of the body).

Cancer can develop in almost any part of the body where there are cells (e.g., lungs, breasts, colon, skin). The most common cancer (varies by region, but often skin cancer or breast/ prostate in some areas). The deadliest cancer is often lung cancer (due to high mortality rates).

Risk factors for cancer include age (older age increases risk), tobacco use (smoking/chewing), alcohol consumption, exposure to carcinogens (like UV rays, asbestos), family history of cancer, certain genetic mutations, obesity, and lack of physical activity.

Answer:

Benign tumors: non - cancerous, slow - growing, non - invasive, non - metastatic. Malignant tumors: cancerous, rapid - growing, invasive, metastatic.
