Cancer definitions

In this activity, students define four key cancer terms. The aim is to produce accurate definitions identifiable by their peers.

By the end of this activity, students should be able to:

• define the terms ‘tumour', 'malignant', 'benign’ and ‘cancer’

• use the terms accurately within cancer-related discussions.
