In this video, I provide a brief explanation of the various types of cancers and how they are classified histologically. As a medical student, I understand that this topic can be confusing, especially for those interested in primary care or oncology. I discuss the broad term "carcinoma" and its specific definition, as well as the subcategories of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, I touch on sarcoma, myeloma, leukemias, lymphomas, and the different subtypes within lymphomas. This video aims to provide clarity and a basic understanding of the histological subtypes of cancer.
