Verified step by step guidance

Understand the difference between benign and malignant tumors: Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not spread to other parts of the body, while malignant tumors are cancerous and can invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body.

Recognize that body temperature assessment, electrocardiogram (ECG), and blood pressure measurement are not directly related to identifying the nature of a tumor. These methods assess different physiological parameters.

Learn about histological examination: This is a microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease. It involves taking a biopsy of the tumor and examining the cells under a microscope.

Histological examination allows pathologists to observe the cellular characteristics of the tumor, such as cell shape, size, and organization, which can indicate whether the tumor is benign or malignant.

Conclude that histological examination is the appropriate method to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, as it provides detailed information about the cellular structure and behavior of the tumor.
