Note:

1. Localizations of primary, poorly defined, secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasms – This includes malignant tumors for which there is no clear indication of the original localization of cancer or cancer is said to be disseminated, diffused or spread without mentioning the primary localization; Primary localization is considered to be unknown in both cases.

2. Functional activity – All tumors are classified regardless of whether they are functionally active or not.

3. Morphology – There are a number of major morphological (histological) groups of malignant tumours: carcinomas including squamous carcinomas (cells) and adenocarcinomas, sarcomas, other soft tissue tumors including mesotheliomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, leukaemias, other specified types and with specific localizations and unspecified cancers; Cancer is a generic term and can be used for any of the above groups, although it is rarely applied to malignant tumors of lymphatic, hematopoietic and related tissue; Often, the term carcinoma is used incorrectly as a synonym for cancer; Tumors are classified predominantly by localization within large behavioral groups;
