cancer classification

cancer classification

There are five broad groups that are used to classify cancer

Carcinoma  characterized by cell that cover internal and external parts of the body such as lung, breast, and colon cancer
Sarcoma characterized by cell that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues
Lymphoma cancer that begin in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues
Leukemia  cancer that begin in the bone marrow and often accumulate in the bloodstream
Adenomas are cancers that arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues
Cancers are often referred to by terms that contain a prefix related to the cell type in which the cancer originated and a suffix such as -sarcoma, -carcinoma, or just -oma. Common prefixes include:
Adeno- = gland
Chondro- = cartilage
Erythro- = red blood cell
Hemangio- = blood vessels
Hepato- = liver
Lipo- = fat
Lympho- = white blood cell
Melano- = pigment cell
Myelo- = bone marrow
Myo- = muscle
Osteo- = bone
Uro- = bladder
Retino- = eye
Neuro- = brain
