History of the Cancer article
• December 2010 peer review:
Classification, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Signs and Symptoms, and Management and History sections lack citations.
In the Classification section, what is meant by "the type of cell that resembles the tumor"?
Germ cell tumor paragraph, "In adults most often found" is awkward English.
In the Causes section, the meaning of the percentage ranges is unclear. Is this variation in cause vs. type?
"Cancer related to ones occupation..." How is this connected to chemicals?
