The term "tumor" refers to a swelling in the body. To many, the term is synonymous with cancer. But any type of swelling — even a large bruise (hematoma) — is technically a tumor. Tumors can be cancerous or noncancerous.
The only way to be absolutely sure if a cyst or tumor is cancerous is to remove some of the affected tissue (biopsy) for examination under a microscope.
