Another classification refers to the anatomical characteristics of the cancer: localized or diffuse (with or without lymph node invasion).

Classification of the cancer depending on the type of affected cells
Cancer can also be classified according to the appearance of the cells that form the disease.
These cells may look normal, like other cells in the tissue in which the cancer is located, even if chaotic formations form due to rapid multiplication.
In this case, we are talking about differentiated cancer.

Classification of cancer depending on localization of the disease
The classification of cancer depends on the location of the disease.
Oncological diseases can be classified depending on the organ or part of the body where the disease is localized: the digestive system (kidney, liver, chest) or depending on the cells that gave rise to the disorder.
For example, leukemia is a blood cancer that manifests itself as a result of cancerous proliferation of leukocytes.
