How is Morphology Used in Cancer Classification?

Cancer classification is heavily reliant on morphological characteristics. For example:
Adenocarcinomas: These cancers arise from glandular cells and often show gland-like structures.
Squamous Cell Carcinomas: These originate from squamous epithelium and display keratinization and intercellular bridges.
Small Cell Lung Cancer: Characterized by small, round cells with scant cytoplasm and high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios.
Melanomas: These cancers, derived from melanocytes, often exhibit pigmented cells with prominent nuclei.
