Sarcomas are cancers that originate in mesoderm tissues, such as bone or muscle, and cancers arising in glandular tissues (e.g. breast, prostate) are classified as adenocarcinomas. Carcinomas originate in epithelial cells (both inside the body and on its surface) and are the most common types of cancer (~85%)

Epithelial tissues protect surfaces, muscle tissues enable movement, connective tissues offer support, and nervous tissues facilitate communication, each with distinct functions and structures.
