Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cancerous tumor derived from cartilage cells is called chondrosarcoma. Sarcoma is a term used for cancerous tumors that arise in connective tissues (including bone, cartilage, and muscle), but more specific terms are used to describe tumors based on their tissue of origin. Choriocarcinoma is a type of cancer that arises from placental tissue and is not related to cartilage cells. Carcinoma is a term used for cancerous tumors that arise from epithelial tissues (tissues that cover the surface of the body or line organs and cavities within the body), but again, more specific terms are used to describe tumors based on their tissue of origin.
