In response to Spinal cancer issue posted by tinuviel:
You had also asked about tumours becoming cancerous. Yes this does occur 'spontaneously'. It is thought that alot of this progression is triggered by genetic changes. Each successive mutation pushes the tumour further along the spectrum from benign to malignant, until eventually a cancerous tumour is present.
