What is serous carcinoma?

Serous cancer is a type of cancer that monitors its origin to serous fluid or serum. It is a body fluid that is transparent and yellowish and is also known as blood serum because it is separated as a liquid substance from blood when it is knocked down. Serous cancer is sometimes classified as epithelial malignancy or harmful tumors that occur in the epithelium, which is tissue that lines the cavities and surfaces of the body. The epithelium produces serum or semi -agent. The state of the epithelium as one of the main tissues of the body, as well as its capacity of serum or serum production, is the main reason why there are several types of serous cancer. Based on a report of American cancer society, the occurrence of this disease is relatively rare and is 6 percent of cancer in the female population. Ovarian serous carcinoma, however, shows clear physical symptoms. This leads to a slowed diagnosis, until this time it could spread to the abdomen and other parts of the body. The resulting prognosis is not good: 15 to 20 percent chance ofLife for up to five years. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of ovarian cancer occur in the epithelium.

Another type of serous cancer is uterine serous carcinoma (USC), which can also be referred to as uterine cancer, uterine adenocarcinoma or uterine papillary serous (UPSC). It develops in a specialized form of epithelium called endothelium, which lines the inner surface of the blood vessels through thin layers of cells. In this particular case, cancer develops in an endothelium that lines the uterus or womb. This form of cancer is most common in menopause and doctors usually diagnose it during endometrial biopsy. As an ovarian Cancer, however, the USC is a rare form of malignancy.

Serous cancer also falls under the umbrella of cervical cancer. This is because most uterine cancer eventually is spinocellular carcinoma named after a layer of flat epithelial cells that can be found inmarry the cervix. Another common form of cervical serous cancer is adenocarcinoma. This develops in epithelial cells that line organs such as lungs, large intestine and prostate, leading a doctor to assign origin of adenocarcinoma glandular tissue.
