Study Notes
Cancer Types
- Leukemia: Begins in the blood-forming tissue of the bone marrow.
- Lymphoma: Begins in lymphocytes (T cells or B cells).
- Multiple Myeloma: Abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) build up in the bone marrow, forming tumors throughout the bones.
- Melanoma: Begins in melanocytes, specialized cells producing melanin (skin pigment). Tumors are named based on the forming cell type and initial tumor location.
-
Carcinoma: Formed from epithelial cells (covering the body's inner and outer surfaces).
- Adenocarcinoma: Forms in epithelial cells producing fluids or mucus (e.g., breast, colon, prostate).
- Basal Cell Carcinoma: Forms in basal epithelial cells of the epidermis (skin).
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Forms in epithelial cells beneath the epidermis (skin).
- Transitional Cell Carcinoma: Forms in epithelial cells responsible for stretching organs (e.g., bladder).
- Sarcoma: Forms in bone and soft tissues (e.g., muscle, fat, blood vessels, lymph vessels, fibrous tissue).
- Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: Tumors named based on the initial forming cell type and location in the central nervous system.
