How do you get Carcinoma Cancer?
CARCINOMA AND CANCER ARE ONE AND THE SAME.
In medicine, carcinoma is any cancer that arises from epithelial cells. It is malignant by definition: carcinomas invade surrounding tissues and organs, and may spread to lymph nodes and distal sites (metastasis). Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a pre-malignant condition, in which cytological signs of malignancy are present, but there is no histological evidence of invasion through the epithelial basement membrane.
Carcinoma, like all neoplasia, is classified by its histopathological appearance. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, two common descriptive terms for tumors, reflect the fact that these cells may have glandular or squamous cell appearances respectively. Severely anaplastic tumours might be so undifferentiated that they do not have a distinct histological appearance (undifferentiated carcinoma).-

Cancer occurs when cells stop growing. The normal cell process of division, function and death is interrupted. This cell communication can be disrupted by many causes –smoking in the case of lung cancer, even fatty diets have been linked to certain forms of cancer. Recently, environmental toxicity has come to be suspected as a contributing cause.
