Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My father had a stroke 3 weeks ago. The MRI showed the stroke as well as a neoplasm brain mass. We were told the only way to find out what type of tumor it is, is to have a brain tissue sample. We have also been told by other doctors that it is caner. If it requires a tissue sample, how can they say it s cancerous? Are neoplasms normally cancer?
[|AI|]  HIA neoplasm is an abnormal new growth of cells. The cells in a neoplasm usually grow more rapidly than normal cells and will continue to grow if not treated. As they grow, neoplasms can impinge upon and damage adjacent structures. The term neoplasm can refer to benign usually curable or malignant (cancerous) growths. That is why a tissue sample is needed to see if it is cancerous or not. Regards Chat Doctor.
