Cancer is a bunch of conditions that cause abnormal cell growth and proliferation in the body. Cancer can be classified based on the type of tissue or fluid it originates from, or by the initial site of development within the body. 

There are five general categories of cancer:

• Carcinoma:

We may call carcinoma as “The Sneaky Cancer”. Carcinomas make up 80-90% of cancer cases. They can affect organs and glands, and come in two types: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

• Sarcoma:

This can be introduced as “The Tissue-Tamers”. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that affects connective and supportive tissues. It can emerge from muscles, bones, cartilage, and fat. Osteosarcoma mostly affects young people, while other types have unique names reflecting their habitats.

• Myeloma:

Myeloma is “The Bone Marrow Brawler”. Myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow, where the body's immune cells are produced. The cancer cells take over the immune cells and form a malignant army, which can lead to serious health problems.

• Leukemia:

Leukemia can be known as “The Bone Marrow Battlefield”. Leukemia disrupts blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to an excess of dysfunctional white blood cells and making the body vulnerable to infections.

• Lymphoma:

You may simply call lymphoma as “The Immune System Intruders”.  Lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the immune system and hides out in the lymph nodes and other parts of the body. There are two main types: Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's.
