List of cancer types

Cancer
Specialty Oncology
This is a list of cancer types. Cancer is a group of diseases that involve abnormal increases in the
number of cells, with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.[1] Not all tumors or
lumps are cancerous; benign tumors are not classified as being cancer because they do not spread
to other parts of the body.[1] There are over 100 different known cancers that affect humans.[1]
Cancers are often described by the body part that they originated in. However, some body parts
contain multiple types of tissue, so for greater precision, cancers are additionally classified by
the type of cell that the tumor cells originated from. These types include:
Carcinoma: Cancers derived from epithelial cells. This group includes many of the most common
cancers, particularly in older adults. Nearly all cancers developing in
the breast, prostate, lung, pancreas, and colon are carcinomas.
Sarcoma: Cancers arising from connective tissue (i.e. bone, cartilage, fat, nerve), each of which
develop from cells originating in mesenchymal cells outside the bone marrow.
Lymphoma and leukemia: These two classes of cancer arise from cells that make blood.
Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children accounting for about 30%.[2]However,
far more adults develop lymphoma and leukemia.
Germ cell tumor: Cancers derived from pluripotent cells, most often presenting in the testicle or
the ovary (seminoma and dysgerminoma, respectively).
Blastoma: Cancers derived from immature "precursor" cells or embryonic tissue. Blastomas are
more common in children than in older adults.
Cancers are usually named using -carcinoma, -sarcoma or -blastoma as a suffix, with the Latin or
Greek word for the organ or tissue of origin as the root. For example, cancers of the
liver parenchyma arising from malignant epithelial cells is called hepatocarcinoma, while a
malignancy arising from primitive liver precursor cells is called a hepatoblastoma, and a cancer
arising from fat cells is called a liposarcoma. For some common cancers, the English organ name is
used. For example, the most common type of breast cancer is called ductal carcinoma of the breast.
Here, the adjective ductal refers to the appearance of the cancer under the microscope, which
suggests that it has originated in the milk ducts.[citation needed]
Benign tumors (which are not cancers) are usually named using -oma as a suffix with the organ
name as the root. For example, a benign tumor of smooth muscle cells is called a leiomyoma (the
common name of this frequently occurring benign tumor in the uterus is fibroid). Confusingly, some
types of cancer use the -noma suffix, examples including melanoma and seminoma.[3][4]
Some types of cancer are named for the size and shape of the cells under a microscope, such
as giant cell carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, and small-cell carcinoma.[citation needed]
