Types of cancer

Cancer can be divided into the following types depending on the tissue from which the cancer originated –

carcinoma –

Carcinoma cancer usually occurs in epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissues form the surface of organs inside and outside the body, such as the skin, the lining of the intestine, the inside of the mouth, and the inside of the nose. Carcinoma is considered to be the most common type of cancer. Some examples of carcinoma usually include prostate cancer, breast cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

sarcoma –

It is a malignant cancer occurring in connective tissues. Connective tissue is also called connective tissue, which serves to connect different parts of the body with each other. For example, cancer in adipose tissue, areolar tissue, tendons, ligaments and bones.

leukemia –

It is a cancer of the blood, which occurs when white blood cells start forming uncontrollably in the blood. The main types of leukemia include lymphocytic (acute and chronic) and myeloid (acute and chronic). The terms lymphocytic and myeloid leukemia refer to cancers of the cells that make up the white blood cells in the bone marrow and are at different stages.

lymphoma –

It is a cancer of the lymphatic system and its related organs. Lymph is a specialized fluid that builds up in the microscopic spaces between tissues. It is spread in the form of lymph vessels and glands in different parts of the body. Lymphatic fluid contains lymphocytes, which help the body fight infection. Cancer (lymphoma) that occurs in these parts is usually of two types, which are known as Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
