Feedback:
Carcinomas (CA) are the largest group of cancers. Nearly 90% of all malignancies are carcinomas. These solid tumors develop from epithelial tissues that line skin, glands, gastrointestinal (GI), urinary, and reproductive organs. Leukemia is a cancer that originates in hematopoietic (blood-forming) tissue, such as bone marrow. Sarcomas develop from connective or supportive tissues, such as cartilage, bone, fat, muscle, bone marrow, and blood vessels. Blastoma or blastic tumors are malignant tumors of immature or embryonic tissue.
