How is cancer classified?
What will be an ideal response?
Cancers are generally named according to the body organ they initially affect, referred to as the primary tumor, and the type of cells that are affected. Once a cancer is diagnosed, it is classified by the changes in its genes (genotyping), the cell (grading), and its degree of invasion of local and distant tissues (staging). Prognosis, or expected outcome, is dependent on these factors, as is the specific treatment plan for that cancer. Having an understanding of these classifications is important in epidemiology to insure that studies compare like entities.
