An alternative plural form of carcinoma, using the Latin/Greek plural instead of the English '-s' ending.
From Greek 'karkinos' plus '-oma' with the classical plural '-ata.' This form preserves the original Greek pluralization rule, though modern English typically uses 'carcinomas.'
Medical language keeps old Greek plurals like 'carcinomata,' 'criteria,' and 'phenomena' because doctors love sounding classical—though most modern doctors actually say 'carcinomas' in everyday speech.
