A Tumor That is in Position, or Localized, Is

Question

A tumor that is in position, or localized, is:
A) Anaplastic.
B) In situ.
C) Sarcoma.
D) Benign.

Accepted Answer

"In situ" means that the tumor is in its original place and has not spread to surrounding tissues. This is typically a characteristic of early stage cancers and is often associated with a better prognosis than tumors that have metastasized or spread to other areas of the body. Anaplastic refers to cancer cells that have lost their normal structure and function, while sarcoma refers specifically to a cancer of the connective tissue. Benign tumors are non-cancerous and do not typically spread to other areas of the body.
