	Cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cancers are classified by the type of cell that resembles the tumor and, therefore, the tissue presumed to be the origin of the tumor.
		Cancer pathology is ultimately due to the accumulation of DNA mutations that negatively effect expression of tumour suppressor proteins or positivly effect the expression of proteins that drive the cell cycle.
		Cancer screening is an attempt to detect unsuspected cancers in the population.

		A cancer may be suspected for a variety of reasons, but the definitive diagnosis of most malignancies must be confirmed by microscopic examination of the cancerous cells by a pathologist.
		Epithelial tumors: skin cancer (this is in fact the most common cancer but often not classified as such in health statistics), cervical cancer, anal carcinoma, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (in the liver), laryngeal cancer, renal cell carcinoma (in the kidneys), stomach cancer, many testicular cancers, and thyroid cancer.

		Because of its overwhelming popularity relative to 'neoplasia', it is used frequently instead of 'neoplasia', even by scientists and physicians, especially when discussing neoplastic diseases as a group.
		Many can produce hormones, a "chemical messenger" between cells which encourage mitosis, the effect of which depends on the signal transduction of the receiving tissue or cells.
