Chronic constipation linked to increased risk of colorectal cancer

Basal Cell Carcinoma:

Basal Cell Carcinoma or BCC is the cancer which is caused due to the unrestricted growth in the skin’s basal cells, i.e., the outermost layer of the skin. BCC appears on the skin in the form of open sores, red patches, pink growths or scars. It lacks the property of metastasis.

Benign Neoplasm:

Benign neoplasm is the mass of slow growing localized tumor. The property of metastasis, i.e., to invade surrounding tissues and spread to the distant sites is absent in the benign neoplasm. Therefore, it is said to be non- cancerous. Some kinds of benign neoplasms are adenoma, fibroma, hemangioma and lipoma.
