1. Read and translate the text: Benign and Malignant Tumors

A tumor is an abnormal growth of body tissue. Tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). In general, a benign tumor is usually not harmful and they usually grow slowly. They can usually be removed and in most cases they never come back. However, if a benign tumor is big enough, the size and weight can press on nearby organs, blood vessels and nerves and thus cause problems.

The opposite of benign is malignant tumor. Malignant tumors are cancer, where the cancer cells can invade and damage tissues and organs near the tumor. Also, cancer cells can break away from a malignant tumor and enter the lymphatic system or the bloodstream. This is how cancer spreads from the original tumor to form new tumors in other parts of the body.

Problems with the body's immune system can lead to tumors. Tobacco causes more deaths from cancer than any other environmental substance. Other causes of tumors include: chemicals and toxins, drinking too much alcohol, excessive sunlight exposure, genetic problems, obesity, radiation and viruses.

2. Answer the questions to the text:

1. What is the difference between malignant and benign tumours? 2. How do benign tumors grow? 3. When does benign tumor cause problems? 4. How does cancer spread? 5. What causes of tumors do you know?

аномальний ріст тканин тіла; зазвичай видаляються; злоякісна пухлина; ушкоджують тканини і органи; надмірне вживання алкоголю; потрапляє в лімфатичну систему.
