Talk:List of cancer types

message: It would be great if this page (or another) gave more information about the cancers, such as their prevalence and mortality.  Here´s a starting point http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancerbasics/cancer-prevalence http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/commoncancers  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.197.176.134 (talk) 12:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Of these three ways of classifying tumours (there are more than these three), I, as a pathologist, prefer the histological classification (carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, etc). Oncologists and surgeons prefer an anatomical classification (breast, colon, lung, etc). I guess that most readers will also prefer the second. What is clear is that no one prefers an alphabetical classification. Furthermore, tumours often have more than one name. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma of the breast; should it be under "B" or "D"?. Will someone object if the order is changed? Emmanuelm 12:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps a hierarchical list? Lung cancer, subdivided into SCLC and NSCLC (again subdivided in adenoca, squamous cell ca, alveolar cell etc etc)? JFW | T@lk 21:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alphabetical, histological or anatomical?

message: I understand the purpose behind having separate lines under "Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia" and "Leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic" and so forth.  However, do we really need to have separate lines for things like:
*Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Adult 
*Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Childhood
when there aren't separate articles for them?  WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

message: What is COPD doing on the list? I wasn't aware that it was even considered a precancerous condition, much less an actual cancer. It's not on the source list from NIH, and there's no mention of cancer in its primary article other than to say it can sometimes co-occur with lung cancer. It seems to have appeared in October of 2013 (revision 575588418), and the user's history doesn't seem to indicate any particular focus in medicine or biology.
Please let me know if I'm committing any crimes against editing etiquette here; I don't chime in very often!

thread_title:  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

message: I have no specialist knowledge in this area, but do know a little about Teratomas and had expected a listing here. Perhaps somebody would be kind enough to explain their omission and perhaps it would be prudent  to include at least a disambig link to help others searching for the same subject. If they are here and I have missed it, please accept my apologies Thanks  Velella  Velella Talk   09:14, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
