Malign means to have cancer or a tumor that is likely to spread or cause harm. Malignancy is a term used to describe a tumor that is cancerous and has the potential to grow and spread to other parts of the body. Malign tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumors are more serious and require aggressive treatment in order to prevent them from spreading to other organs or tissues in the body.

Malign is a medical term that refers to an abnormality or disorder that is cancerous, or has the potential to become cancerous. It is used to describe a wide variety of diseases, from benign tumors to aggressive tumors that spread quickly. Malignancy can range in severity, depending on how abnormal the cells are and how fast they are spreading. Malignancy can also refer to precancerous conditions that can be treated or monitored to prevent cancer from developing.
