Craniopharyngioma is a rare brain tumor that develops near the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, areas involved in important functions such as hormone regulation, growth, metabolism and other body processes. It is generally a slow-growing tumor and is usually considered benign, meaning it does not typically behave like an aggressive cancer that spreads to distant parts of the body. However, because…
CUTANEAOUSÂ T-CELL LYMPHOMA
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare type of lymphoma that develops from abnormal T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system. In CTCL, abnormal T-lymphocytes can migrate to and accumulate in the skin, causing different types of skin changes. Depending on the type and stage, these changes may include dry or itchy skin, patches, redness,…
EMBRYONAL TUMORS
Embryonal tumors are rare, malignant tumors that develop in the brain and central nervous system (CNS). They are most commonly seen in children and young people, although some types can occur at other ages. These tumors develop from cells that are associated with early development. The exact reason why these cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably is not always known….
MEDULLOBLASTOMA IN CHILDREN
Medulloblastoma in children is a type of brain tumor that commonly develops in children and arises in the cerebellum, a part of the brain located at the base of the skull. It can affect movement, balance and coordination because of the location of the tumor. Age Group According to the doctor’s content, children between 5 and 9 years of age…
CHILDHOOD EXTRACRANIAL GERM CELLÂ TUMORS
Childhood extracranial germ cell tumors are rare tumors that develop from germ cells outside the brain. Germ cells are present during fetal development and later develop into sperm in the testes and eggs in the ovaries. Sometimes, these cells undergo abnormal changes and begin growing uncontrollably. When germ cell tumors develop outside the brain, they are known as extracranial germ…
EXTRAGONADAL GERM CELL TUMORS
Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare tumors that develop from germ cells outside the gonads. Germ cells normally develop in the testicles in males and ovaries in females, but in some cases, germ cell tumors can occur in other parts of the body. Extragonadal germ cell tumors may develop in areas such as the brain, mediastinum (central chest area), and…
FALLOPIAN TUBE CANCER
Fallopian tube cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the lining or tissue of a fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes are narrow tubes that connect the ovaries with the uterus. In some cases, cancer may begin near the end of the fallopian tube close to the ovary and may spread to nearby tissues. Fallopian tube cancer is…
GALLBLADDER CANCER
Gallbladder cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops when cells of the gallbladder become abnormal, malignant and start growing uncontrollably. The gallbladder is a small pouch located below the liver on the right side of the abdomen. Its main function is to store bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. Because gallbladder cancer may not cause noticeable…
GASTRIC CANCER
Gastric cancer, also called stomach cancer, develops when normal cells in the inner lining of the stomach become abnormal and malignant and begin growing uncontrollably. Gastric cancer can affect different parts of the stomach. The symptoms and treatment approach can vary depending on the location and stage of the cancer. What Is Gastric Cancer? The stomach is part of the…
GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMORS
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are tumors that develop in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. These tumors develop from specialized cells associated with the gastrointestinal tract called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). GISTs mainly affect adults and are more commonly diagnosed after the age of 40. What Are Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors? A gastrointestinal stromal…
