18. ◦ THE DISEASE CAUSED BY AN UNCONTROLLED
DIVISION OF ABNORMAL CELLS IN A PART OF THE
BODY.
◦ A MALIGNANT GROWTH OR TUMOR RESULTING
FROM SUCH A DIVISION OF CELLS.
◦ SYNONYMS
◦ CRAB - CRAYFISH - CRAWFISH - CARCINOMA -
CANKER
19. CANCER IS ULTIMATELY THE RESULT OF CELLS THAT
UNCONTROLLABLY GROW AND DO NOT DIE. NORMAL CELLS
IN THE BODY FOLLOW AN ORDERLY PATH OF GROWTH,
DIVISION, AND DEATH. PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH IS
CALLED APOPTOSIS, AND WHEN THIS PROCESS BREAKS
DOWN, CANCER BEGINS TO FORM. UNLIKE REGULAR CELLS,
CANCER CELLS DO NOT EXPERIENCE PROGRAMMATIC
DEATH AND INSTEAD CONTINUE TO GROW AND DIVIDE. THIS
LEADS TO A MASS OF ABNORMAL CELLS THAT GROWS OUT
OF CONTROL.
20. THERE ARE FIVE BROAD GROUPS THAT ARE USED TO
CLASSIFY CANCER.
CARCINOMAS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY CELLS THAT COVER
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS OF THE BODY SUCH AS
LUNG, BREAST, AND COLON CANCER.
SARCOMAS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY CELLS THAT ARE
LOCATED IN BONE, CARTILAGE, FAT, CONNECTIVE TISSUE,
MUSCLE, AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE TISSUES.
LYMPHOMAS ARE CANCERS THAT BEGIN IN THE LYMPH
NODES AND IMMUNE SYSTEM TISSUES.
LEUKEMIAS ARE CANCERS THAT BEGIN IN THE BONE
MARROW AND OFTEN ACCUMULATE IN THE
BLOODSTREAM.
ADENOMAS ARE CANCERS THAT ARISE IN THE THYROID,
THE PITUITARY GLAND, THE ADRENAL GLAND, AND OTHER
GLANDULAR TISSUES.
