Short explanation

Students should be able to describe malignant tumours as cancers that invade neighbouring tissues. Cancer sits within Animal tissues, organs and organ systems, so this idea should be explained in that specific biological context rather than as an isolated phrase. A useful term here is cancer, because cancer is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Describe malignant tumours as cancers that invade neighbouring tissues. Avoid giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe malignant tumours as cancers that invade neighbouring tissues; instead answer by clearly explaining how to describe malignant tumours as cancers that invade neighbouring tissues. Use precise biological vocabulary when you explain how to describe malignant tumours as cancers that invade neighbouring tissues. This keeps your answer tightly aligned to the approved learning objective for Cancer.
