Cancer epithelium

Cancer epithelium refers to the abnormal growth of the epithelial cells that line the body’s internal and external surfaces. Epithelial cells are the cells that make up the protective layer of the skin, the linings of the respiratory tract, the digestive tract, and other organs. Cancer epithelium is generally classified as either carcinoma or sarcoma, depending on the type of cell affected. Carcinoma is a type of cancer that begins in the epithelial cells of the skin or other organs. This type of cancer typically starts when an abnormal cell begins to grow and divide uncontrollably. As these cells continue to divide, they can invade nearby tissues and organs, leading to the spread of the cancer. Sarcoma, on the other hand, is a type of tumor that begins in the connective tissue. This type of cancer is most commonly found in the bones, muscles, or tendons. It can also affect the epithelial cells, leading to cancer epithelium. Cancer epithelium is most commonly treated with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Surgery is often used to remove the tumor, while radiation and chemotherapy are used to destroy the cancerous cells. Depending on the type and severity of the cancer, additional treatment options such as hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy may also be used.
