Both "tumour" and "tumor" are correct spellings. 😊 The difference in spelling stems from regional language preferences. "Tumor" is primarily used in American English while "tumour" is used in British English and other forms of English used globally. There's a considerable amount of words that share this kind of variance in spelling between these two versions of English, usually where Americans have simplified the spelling. So, essentially, it's about where you are or who your audience is, there isn't a right or wrong spelling between these two. They are both recognized and widely used.
