What are Epithelial Cells?
Epithelial cells are skin tissues that cover and line the body. They cover all the body’s organs (throat, lung, heart, breast, prostate, kidneys, liver, ovaries and colon) and line the body’s cavities (including the inside of the chest and abdominal cavity). Cancers of the epithelial cells are called “carcinomas” and make up about 85 percent of all cancers.
