A tumor merely means a swelling, it can be caused by most anything and is not necessarily cancer. A "benign" tumor, also called a "polyp" within the intestines, only grows within it's local area; it cannot go to other areas of the body and so is not cancer.
In contrast, a "malignant" tumor is capable of spreading to any area of the body, it is cancer. This process of spread is called "metastasis." Sometimes previously benign tumors can become malignant over time, this process is called "malignant degeneration" and happens in some polyps.
Most polyps, however, will never become cancerous. If cancer does arise and is not effectively treated, the will ultimately spread to other crucial body areas and kill the patient. Advanced colon cancer most often kills by causing anemia, debility, infection, and organ failure.
This is why it is critical to diagnose and treat any cancer as early as possible, when the chances for successful treatment are highest.
