Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carcinoma is the most common type of cancer in humans, and it can appear in practically all tissues of our body. We call carcinoma cancer that originates from an epithelial tissue, that is, the tissue that covers our skin and most of our organs. In this case, we can say that yes, both skin and lung cancer are classified as carcinomas.

Carcinoma is the type of cancer that arises when any skin cell undergoes malignant transformation. For example, if the mutated cell is an epithelial cell in the kidney, the cancer that arises from it is renal cell carcinoma; if the origin of the cancer is the liver epithelial cell, known as the hepatocyte, the cancer will be called hepatocarcinoma.
