C. Tumore cells entered the blood and lymph vessels
D. New tumor formed all over the patient's body

Answer 1

Benign in a nutshell means harmless. A all the way.

Answer 2

Additional information that would support the claim that the tumor is benign would be:

A. The tumor remained in one location

B. The tumor impaired the function of neighboring organism

Step-by-step explanation:

Additional information that would support the claim that the tumor is benign would be:

A. The tumor remained in one location

B. The tumor impaired the function of neighboring organism

A benign tumor is a type of tumor that does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body and does not invade nearby tissue. They are typically not cancerous and are less likely to cause harm to the patient.

A characteristic of benign tumors is that they remain in one location and do not spread to other parts of the body. They also don't impair the function of neighboring organism.

Option C and D are characteristics of malignant tumors (cancerous) which are invasive and can spread to other parts of the body via the blood and lymph vessels, resulting in the formation of new tumors.
