The document discusses different types of cancer including carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, and leukemia. Carcinomas make up 85% of cancers and arise from epithelial cells in organs like the skin, breast, prostate, lung and colon. Sarcomas arise from connective tissues and make up 2% of cancers. Lymphomas affect lymphatic and blood tissues and are 4% of cancers, while leukemia affects white blood cells and is also 4% of cancers. Common cancers in males are lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and brain, while in females they are breast, colorectal, lung, cervical, brain and ovarian. Causes of cancer include environment, diet, infections, radiation, chemicals
6. CARCINOMAS
⢠These are arrived from epithelial cells
⢠Arrived from SKIN, BREAST, PROSTRATE, LUNG,
PANCREAS AND COLON.
⢠85% of all cancers are these.
17. LEUKEMIA
⢠In greek LEUKOS = WHITE
⢠EMIA= RELATED TO BLOOD
⢠Related to white blood cells
⢠Increase in the no of white blood cells and
mainly at immature state . These are called
leukemia.
⢠4% of cancers.

⢠Human t-cell lymphotic
viruses
⢠RNA Genomes
⢠HIV
⢠Hepatitis âC
39. HEPATITIS B VIRUS
⢠Itâs having smallest genome among all of the
other viruses â only 3KB.
⢠Infect liver cells of several species such as
Ducks, sqirrels, and humans.
⢠CAUSING acute LIVER damage
⢠Acute infection not resolved and chronic
infection is starts.
