What is an IMMUNE SYSTEM?
• The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders.
• The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body.
• The cells involved are white blood cells, or leukocytes.

Formation of Tumors and Cancer Terms
• Groups of these abnormal cells in masses are called tumors.
• Benign: Masses that are not cancerous.• Malignant: Masses that are cancerous
and can spread to other parts of the body.
• Metastasis: When cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
• Biopsy: Partial removal of the tissue or tumor to test for cancer.
