Cancer
1. Benign/Non-cancerous
Forms of tissue proliferation such as skin moles, lipomas, or uterin fibroids.
Does not become cancerous and not usually life threatening (depend on its
location)
Tends to grow more slowly
Does not invade surrounding tissue or spread to other areas of the body
(mestatasis)
Caused by : exposure to radiation or environmental toxins, genetics, diet,
stress, inflammation, infection, local trauma or injury.
Adenoma
: epithelial tissue
Fibroma
: connective or fibrous tissue
Hemangioma
Lipoma
2. Pre Malignant
Potentially cancerous if it is not treated
Hyperplasia : abnormal increase in the number of cells
Hypetrophya : abnormal increase in the size of cells
Dysplasia
: cells have an abnormal appearance under the
microscope and are disorganized
Metaplasia
: cells look normal, but are not the cell type usually found
in the bodily tissue or area
Atypia
: cells look slightly atypical under microscope, usually
caused by inflammation
3. Malignant
Abnormal cell growth
Capacity to invade other tissue
Capacity to metastasis
Carcinoma : cancer begins in the skin or tissue that line internal organs
Leukemia : large number of abnormal leukocyte cells
Lymphoma : cancer that originates in the immune system
Sarcoma : cancer begins in the bone fat, muscle, blood vessels, cartilage,
bone
Cancer of the central nervous system
