Cancer can be classified in two primary ways: by the type of tissue or organ where it originates, known as the anatomical classification (e.g., carcinoma, sarcoma, leukemia), and by its genetic or molecular characteristics, which can include specific mutations or markers that drive tumor growth. Additionally, cancers can also be categorized based on their stage and grade, which reflect the extent of disease progression and cellular appearance, respectively. These classifications help guide treatment options and prognosis.
