  2. (carcinomatous) being or relating to carcinoma; "a carcinomatous lesion"
  3. Carcinoma is a medical term that refers to an invasive malignant tumor consisting of transformed epithelial cells. ...
  4. (Carcinomas) A form of cancer that develops in the tissues covering or lining organs of the body such as the skin, uterus, lung or breast. Eighty to 90 percent of all cancers are carcinomas.
  5. Cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
  6. Malignant (cancerous) growth that tends to invade surrounding tissue and metastasize (travel to and grow in) to other regions of the body. The tumor is firm, irregular and nodular with a well-defined border.
  7. a malignant tumor that begins in the lining layer (epithelial cells) of organs. At least 80% of all cancers are carcinomas.
  8. A malignant (cancerous) new growth. These tumors infiltrate into surrounding tissues and, if untreated, will spread to other organs, and may eventually lead to the patient's death.
  9. cancer found in body tissues that cover or line surfaces of organs, glands, or body structures.
  10. A malignant tumor that arises from skin or the lining of body organs. They often invade adjacent tissue and spread to distant organs, including the brain

  12. One of the two categories of cancer (vs. sarcoma). A cancer that arises from tissue derived from the inner or outer layer of the embryo. Includes glandular tissue such as the breasts.

  20. A type of cancer that starts in the skin or the lining of organs.
  21. A malignant tumor that spreads by metastasis; cancer.
  22. Cancer derived from the cells lining organs or epithelial tissue.
  23. A cancerous tumor originating in epithelial cells (the surface cells of tissues).  Carcinomas tend to spread into surrounding tissues and to metastasize to other parts of the body.
  24. Type of tumor that arises from cells which occur on line body surfaces of internal organs and passageway of the body. Skin, intestinal, uterine and lung cancers are carcinomas.
  25. A cancer that starts on the surface or lining of a body organ.
