Kidney cancer develops when cells in the kidney begin to grow abnormally and form a mass or tumor. It can affect one kidney and, less commonly, both kidneys. A kidney mass may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), so appropriate medical evaluation is important whenever an abnormal growth is detected. Kidney cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early…
NASAL CAVITY AND PARANASAL CANCER
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers are rare cancers that develop in the tissues of the nasal cavity or the air-filled spaces around the nose called the paranasal sinuses. These cancers are included among head and neck cancers. They can develop in different parts of the nasal cavity and sinuses, with the maxillary sinus being one of the commonly affected…
NASOPHARYNGEAL CANCER
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat located behind the nose. It occurs when cells lining the nasopharynx undergo abnormal changes and begin to grow uncontrollably. Because the nasopharynx is located close to the nose, ears, throat and surrounding structures, symptoms may involve several of these areas. What Is…
NEUROBLASTOMA
Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that develops from immature nerve cells called neuroblasts. It mainly affects infants and young children, although teenagers and adults can rarely develop it. Neuroblastoma can occur in different parts of the body where these immature nerve cells are found. It commonly begins in the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. Boys…
NON HODGKIN LYMPHOMA
Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a group of cancers that develop from abnormal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that forms part of the immune system. Lymphocytes are found throughout the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow and other tissues. When abnormal lymphocytes grow uncontrollably, they can form lymphoma. Non Hodgkin lymphoma can develop in different…
NON SMALL CELL LUNGS CANCER
Non small cell lungs cancer is one of primary lungs cancer in which epithelial cell of lungs tissues become cancerous and start growing abnormally There are subtype of NSCLC according to type of cell includes: These types are- Adenocarcinoma – Squamous cell carcinoma – Large cell carcinoma- Other- NON SMALL CELL LUNGS CANCER CAUSE: Risk factors that increase the chance…
OROPHARYNGEAL CANCER
Oropharyngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that develops in the oropharynx, the part of the throat located behind the mouth. Many oropharyngeal cancers develop from squamous cells, which form the lining of the oropharynx. The cancer may affect areas such as the base of the tongue, tonsils and soft palate. The exact cause is not always…
OSTEOSARCOMA
Osteosarcoma, also called osteogenic sarcoma, is a type of bone cancer that develops when abnormal bone-forming cells grow uncontrollably. It can occur in any bone, but it most commonly develops in the long bones of the arms and legs, particularly around the knee. It can also occur less commonly in the pelvis, jaw or skull. Osteosarcoma is more commonly diagnosed…
OVARIAN CANCER
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the ovaries, which are part of the female reproductive system. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Ovarian cancer may not cause obvious symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do occur, they can sometimes be mistaken for common digestive or menstrual problems. Persistent or unusual…
OVARIAN GERMS CELL TUMORS
Ovarian germ cell tumors are tumors that develop from germ cells, the cells in the ovaries that normally develop into eggs. These tumors are relatively uncommon and occur more often in teenagers and younger women. Many ovarian germ cell tumors are benign, although some can be malignant and require specialist cancer treatment. Because ovarian tumors can have different types and…
