Carcinoma cells are malignant cells of epithelial origin, the constituents of carcinomas, which are the most common category of human cancer. They arise when epithelial cells of the skin, glands, mucosae or organ linings acquire genetic and epigenetic alterations that disrupt growth control, evade apoptosis and confer invasive and metastatic capacity. Carcinomas are classified by the epithelium of origin and differentiation, including squamous-cell and basal-cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous forms, and their progression involves loss of normal adhesion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and acquisition of stem-like phenotypes that facilitate spread. Characterization combines histopathology with molecular and biomarker analysis to guide prognosis and therapy. Work in this area covers dietary fish-oil-induced inhibition of human breast carcinoma growth, eccrine porocarcinoma as a cutaneous adnexal malignancy, correlation of Oncotype DX recurrence score with insulin-receptor-substrate expression in breast cancer, inhibition of colon-cancer metastasis through E-cadherin upregulation, VCAM-1 gene expression in colorectal cancer, microRNA-based diagnostic screening of colon cancer, adenosquamous gastric carcinoma, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem-cell phenotype acquisition in virus-infected neoplasms. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical and laboratory research on carcinoma biology, biomarkers and the mechanisms of epithelial tumour progression.
