When we talk about Cancer/ Oncology in the NCLEX, we are usually refer to a malignant tumor.

Remember that cancer cells:

• – have uncontrollable growth
• – when we mention carcinoma, the tumor usually arises from surface or grandular epithelium
• – Sarcoma: arises from the commective tissues.
• – Lymphoma and myeloma starts in the cells of the immune system.

• Cellular Origin
  Carcinoma: Originates in epithelial tissue
  Adenocarcinoma: originates in the glandular tissue (breast, prostate)
  Sarcoma: Originates in fat, muscle blood vessels, nerves, bones

The Immune System protects the body from cancer through:

1. Using Cell-mediated immunity.
2. Using Natural Killer Cells.
3. Using Helper T Cells.
