Carcinoma is a broad term meaning a cancer that starts in an epithelial cell (one of the cells that line the body). Not only is there an abnormal growth of cells, but those cells spread to other parts of the body, invading and taking over healthy cells. When the carcinoma cells have taken over a large portion of important organs, like the brain, lungs, or liver, that is what causes death.
