Neoplasia

(Redirected from Neoplasm)

Neoplasia (literally: new growth) is sudden and abnormal growth in a tissue or organ. Such a growth is called a neoplasm, also known as a tumor. Neoplasia and cancer are often used interchangeably, although technically the latter refers specifically to malignant neoplasia.

Neoplasia is also the name of a scientific journal for oncology research.
