Types of Cancer
DEFINITION
Cancer Network (malignancies) can occur in the blood and blood forming tissues (leukemias and lymphomas) and tumor 'solid', often categorized cancer. Cancer can be either carcinomas or sarcomas.
Leukemia and lymphoma are cancers of the blood and blood forming tissues. Rather than form a clot, they could remain as a separate cancer cells. Therefore they often harm the body with loss of normal blood cells from the bone marrow and blood flow, so the normal function of cells are gradually replaced by cancer cells.
Carcinomas are cancers of epithelial cells, the cells that protect the body surface, producing hormones, and making glands. Examples carcinomas are skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and cancer of the thyroid gland. Typically, carcinomas are more common in older people than younger people.
Sarcomas are cancers of mesodermal cells, the cells that make up muscles and connective tissue. Examples of sarcomas are leiomyosarcoma (cancer of smooth muscle found in the walls of the digestive organs) and osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Typically, sarcoma occurs more often in younger people than in older people.
