Neoplasm- malignant tumour
Malignant tumour is a cancerous tumour. The tumour or neoplasm grows quickly and can spread to other organs through blood/lymph.

Benign tumour- noncancerous tumour
Benign tumour is called a non-cancerous tumour as it is confined to the site of origin and does not spread to other parts.

Carcinomas- cancer of epithelial tissues
Cancer of epithelial cells are called carcinomas. They include cervical cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer etc. About 80% of cancers are carcinomas.

Sarcoma- bone cartilage tissue cancer
Sarcomas are cancers of mesodermal tissues such as bones, cartilages, tendons, adipose tissue and lymphoid tissue.

Lymphomas - hematopoietic cell tumour
Hematopoietic cells (blood stem cells) are present in the bone marrow. The cancerous growth in hematopoietic cells is known as lymphoma.
