Question: Can you help me to explain the three types of cancer!?
Answers:
I think you means three major categories of cancers, which are:
1!. Carcinoma
2!. Sarcoma and
3!. Leukemia/Lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma)
Carcinoma is a cancer of epithelial cells such as cancer arising from lining cells of gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, respiratory tract etc!. Also, they can arise fron skin epidermis!. Two major carcinomas are Squamous cell carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma!.
Sarcoma is a cancer of mesenchymal tissue such as arising for endothelial cells of blood vessels (angiosarcoma), muscle cells (leiomyosarcoma, rabdomyosarcoma), nerve cells (malignant peripheral nerve cell tumor), fat cells (liposarcoma) etc etc
Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphoid cells, predominantly arising in the lymph nodes (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma)!. Leukemia is cancer of blood elements and start in the bone marrow!.
There are many other cancers such as melanoma (skin tumor) and brain tumor (glioma, meningioma etc!.) etc etc!. They can be further classified into many types!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
