Carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the epithelial tissue, which is the tissue that lines the organs and other structures of the body. It is the most common type of cancer, accounting for approximately 80% of all cancer cases. Carcinoma can be further divided into two main categories: non-small cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. Non-small cell carcinoma is the most common type and is typically treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Small cell carcinoma is a more aggressive form of cancer and is usually treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. Oncologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma and other types of cancer.
