The silliest guess masquerading as a fact is the notion that cancer is the human body attacking itself by having certain cells grow in an out of control way. The link between cancer and common pathogens is completely unexplored by big pharma. Not profitable. But a link there mist certainly is, as demonstrated by the efficacy of antibiotics applied ad oncological medicine. We know this because the common biofilm, showed up that connection. Biofilm doesn’t even make it into the wiki discussion of neoplasm. Pity. Every woman who has breast cancer in the United States also has a biofilm slime mold slowly causing vet the implant, while exerting s uniform squeezing action that eventually crushes the implant. Biofilms are programmed to grow and to exert a uniform squeezing action if the body part it has covered or infiltrated. All implant related biofilm operates this way. An implant in a woman who has had cancer cannot avoid bacterial attachment (resulting in the slime mold). The article should describe biofilms as neoplasms. Breast implant disease is no mystery. Every such woman will get it. So perhaps you should include biofilms in your article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.181.85.25 (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Now the article is not clear about differences between the terms and it's contradictory: "tumor is used as a synonym for neoplasm...Some neoplasms do not form a tumor".
If abnormal cells do not form a mass but are diffused (e.g. in blood), is it neoplasm? Is it tumor? Or tumor is always a mass (big) or nodule (small)? What's the difference between neoplasm and neoplasia? If a mass (or nodule) is not seen externally, is it a lump? Is nodule a type of mass?
I think "neoplasia" and "tumor" should remain distinct. Lay people wouldn't gain anything from the inclusion of "neoplasia" in a discussion of tumors. And, anyone looking up "neoplasia" would be understand it to be scientific jargon, but still get the meaning. --(anon comment by 208.58.65.181)
I am also against a merge. If this article was titled "neoplasm" (a synonym for tumor) a merge would make sense. However, it is possible for neoplasia not to form a discrete mass (aka tumor). For example, I believe some instances of aggressive bone cancers (osteosarcoma) can cause severe lytic changes in bone tissue rather than discrete tumors. There must be other examples as well. --Bk0 (Talk) 23:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
I quite agree. It is not necessarry to confuse neoplasia with tumour.... even though the two terms are extremely similar. As suggested above tumours are generally associated, by the lay, with malignancies. Although both neoplasias and tumours may either develop to become carcinogenig or remain benign. The destinction between the two would also be more beneficial to searches and reading.
There should be no merger, some people will then at
that's a very good idea.i think it would be appropriate to create the pages benign neoplasm and malignant neoplasm,and merge the page cancer into malignant neoplasm.anyone agree?Immunize (talk) 18:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'd like to hear your thoughts on 'growth' in the context of Willis' description of neoplastic disease. Must neoplastic growth be driven by an increased rate of cell division? Is it good enough for the cells to accumulate through an extended (and dysregulated) lifespan? WhatamIdoing 05:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
There is more material on this subject at Neoplasm, which has plenty of room to merge this content. Dlohcierekim 22:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I shortened the article to avoid counter-productive duplications with the cancer article and to direct (without re-directing) the readers. To all those who contributed truly interesting stuff to this article, stop hanging in this boring joint, please bring your ideas and join the party!

I don't see a good enough justification to merit soft redirecting this neoplasia, which merits its own article. Antelan talk 04:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I reintroduced the soft redirect sentence without editing the text. As it stands, the article is unacceptably short and incomplete. You have two choices: either accept the soft redirect or start doing serious work on the article. Emmanuelm (talk) 13:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
WhatamIdoing, this argument is going nowhere. You may broaden it by adding a Request for comments template in this talk page. Emmanuelm (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I requested that move on Jan 9th. In the future, remember to make this request yourself. And please fix the {{otheruses}} red link. Emmanuelm (talk) 14:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
For the record, 62.225.112.236 is not me and I had no advance knowledge of today's edits. I do, however, completely agree with them, as per the earlier discussion on the same subject. Emmanuelm (talk) 17:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
In modern use, all tumors are neoplastic, but surely the terms are not actually interchangeable. Please check my attempt to clarify this for accuracy. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've changed the definition of benign neoplasms slightly, to say that they usually do not transform into cancer, since they do have the potential, but it is not definite or expected as in the case of pre-cancerous. Hope this's okay. --76.203.223.245 (talk) 10:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
In the article it states that moles never transform into cancer. This seems to be completely untrue, considering that I know (and the government campaigns about) many people who have had moles that turned into melanomas from UV radiation. Considering this, I am unsure what is meant by the sentence. En-AU Speaker (T) (C) (E) 08:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
User:Bernstein0275 added a huge amount of sourced material in April about Malignant neoplasms, and I'm wondering whether that really ought to be here, rather than over at Malignant neoplasms ("Cancer") with just a brief summary here. What do you think? WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

As of https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neoplasm&oldid=917248294, article used the US spelling. (except in a link and with the UK) - overall, 60x vs 4x.) I presume that's the established spelling in this article, and the edits to change it lacking consensus are thus against policy and revertable, no?--50.201.195.170 (talk) 19:27, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
The "Neoplasm" wiki en article does not have a link to the『腫瘍』article on wiki ja, even if that one has a link to the "Neoplasm" wiki en article. That's because of the "Tumor" wiki en article having the link to "腫瘍", the problem is that currently "Tumor" is a redirect and you have to actively look for it so It would be more useful to exclude it and just have "Neoplasm" and『腫瘍』to have language links to the other.
Could someone please help me to do that edit?, thank you. --~~~~ Hiyorimax (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
