Types of Carcinoma : Squamous Cell Carcinoma : It is a type of Skin cancer that affects the internal lining of the Skin, called Epidermis. It indicates it begins with Squamous Cells, which are present on the top most layer of the Epidermis. It may develop in the Skin, Lips, Mouth, Esophagus, Lungs, Urinary Bladder, Digestive System, Cervix and Vagina.
Basal Cell Carcinoma : In this, the mutation occurs in the Basal Cells. Basal cells are present next to the Squamous Cells. It occurs due to long term exposure of Skin to the UV Radiations. This may lead to mutation in the DNA of the Basal Cells, as a result chances of development of Cancer Cells increase.
Renal Cell Carcinoma : It is a type of Kidney Cancer. It begins in the lining of the renal tubules. The renal tubules are responsible for waste transportation from the blood to the Urine.
Causes of Carcinoma Long term Exposure to Chemicals
