Cancer is the general term used to refer to a malignant tumor, irrespective of the tissue of origin. 'Malignancy' indicates that (i) the tumor is capable of progressive growth, unrestrained by the capsule of the parent organ and/or (ii) capable of distant spread via lymphatics or the blood stream resulting in development of secondary deposits of tumor known as `metastases'. Microscopically, cancer cells appear different from the equivalent normal cells in the affected tissue. In particular they may show a lesser degree of differentiation (i.e. they are more 'primitive'), features indicative of a faster proliferative rate and disorganized alignment in relationship to other cells or blood vessels. The diagnosis of cancer usually depends upon the observation of these microscopic features in biopsies, i.e. tissue removed surgically for such examination.

Cancers are classified according to the type of cell from which they are derived and the organ of origin. Hence cancers arising within the bronchi, often collectively called 'lung cancer', include both adenocarcinomas (derived from glandular epithelium) and squamous carcinomas (derived from squamous epithelium). Sarcomas are cancers of connective tissue, including bone and cartilage. The behaviour of cancers and their response to therapy vary widely depending on this classification and on numerous other factors such as growth rate, differentiation in cell and characteristics and size at the time of presentation. It is entirely wrong to see cancer as a single disease entity with a universally poor prognosis.

Incidence In most western countries cancer is the second most important cause of death after heart disease and accounts for 20-25 per cent of all deaths. In the United Kingdom in 1995 nearly 157,000 people died of malignant disease. There is wide international variation in the most frequently encountered types of cancer, reflecting the importance of environmental factors in the development of cancer. In the UK and the USA, carcinoma of the bronchus is the most common. Since it is usually inoperable at the time of diagnosis, it is even more strikingly the leading cause of cancer deaths. In women, breast cancer is most common, accounting for a quarter of all cancers; nevertheless, fewer than a half of women in whom breast cancer is discovered will die from the disease. Other common sites are as follows: males - colon and rectum, prostate and bladder; females - colon and rectum, uterus, ovary and pancreas.

The incidence of cancer varies with age, the older a person is the more likely is he or she to develop the disease: the over 85s have an incidence about nine times greater than those in the 25-44 age group. There are also differences in incidence between sexes, for example, more men than women develop lung cancer, though the incidence in women is rising as the effects of smoking work through.
