HPV-associated adenocarcinoma is a type of cervical cancer that develops from the glandular cells lining the inside of the cervix. These cells normally produce mucus and form the lining of the cervical canal, the passageway connecting the uterus to the vagina. HPV-associated adenocarcinoma is caused by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types, particularly HPV18, …

Adenocarcinoma of the colon is the most common type of colon cancer. It starts in the gland-forming cells that line the inner surface of the colon. These cells normally produce mucus, which helps stool move through the large intestine. When these cells accumulate genetic changes and grow uncontrolled, they form a tumour called adenocarcinoma. This …

Follicular adenoma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck that produces hormones to regulate metabolism. Follicular adenoma develops from follicular cells, which normally produce thyroid hormone. The tumor is completely surrounded by a thin layer of tissue called a capsule, and …

A fibroadenoma is a noncancerous (benign) type of breast tumor and the most common benign breast tumor, especially in women under the age of 35. It is made of two normal breast components growing together: epithelial cells (the cells that line the breast ducts) and the stroma (the connective tissue that supports the ducts). Because …

A tubular adenoma is a precancerous polyp that develops on the inner lining of the large intestine, including the colon and rectum. It is the most common type of polyp found during a colonoscopy. Tubular adenomas are not cancer, but they can slowly change into a type of cancer called adenocarcinoma if they are left in place. For …

Pleomorphic adenoma is a noncancerous tumor that starts in the salivary glands — the glands that make saliva. It is the most common salivary gland tumor of any kind, in both adults and children, and accounts for about two-thirds of all salivary gland tumors. The name “pleomorphic” means “many shapes” and refers to the mix …

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a type of kidney cancer. It starts from the cells that line the tiny tubes inside the kidney called tubules, which filter the blood and make urine. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, making up about 7 out of every 10 kidney cancers. The …

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common type of breast cancer after invasive ductal carcinoma. It starts in the lobules — the small glands in the breast that produce milk — and grows into the surrounding breast tissue. The term “invasive” means the cancer cells have spread beyond the lobules into nearby tissue. …

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a noninvasive type of breast cancer that starts in the lining of the breast ducts — the tiny tubes that carry milk from the glands to the nipple. Noninvasive means that all the abnormal cells are confined inside the ducts and have not broken through the duct wall into …

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is the most common type of prostate cancer. It is sometimes called acinar adenocarcinoma because the cancer cells form small clusters that resemble glands called acini. The cancer develops from epithelial cells that normally line the inside of the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and …
