Carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the epithelial cells, which are the cells that line the tissues and organs of the body. It is one of the most common types of cancer and can occur in various organs, including the lungs, breast, colon, prostate, and skin. Carcinomas are characterized by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells, which can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The development of carcinoma is influenced by various factors, including genetic mutations, exposure to carcinogens, hormonal imbalances, and chronic inflammation. The specific causes and risk factors can vary depending on the type of carcinoma.
