Question

Metastasis is connected with

• A. Benign tumour
• B. Malignant tumour
• C. Both benign and malignant tumour
• D. Crown gall tumour

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Malignant tumour

Metastasis is spread of cancerous cells from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body. Cancer occurs after cells are genetically altered to proliferate rapidly and indefinitely. Metastasis involves only malignant tumour because in case of a benign tumour, the cells are non-cancerous and they do not undergo rapid proliferation.

So, the correct answer is 'Malignant tumour'.
