Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. It is the most common type of cancer that starts in the uterus and occurs more often after menopause. Abnormal vaginal bleeding—especially bleeding after menopause—is one of the most important warning signs. Although bleeding does not always mean cancer, it should be…

Esophageal cancer is a cancer that develops in the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the throat to the stomach. The cancer begins in the cells lining the esophagus and may grow into deeper layers as it progresses. Two major types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The symptoms, risk factors and treatment…

It can develop in different parts of the body, particularly the pelvis, thigh, chest wall, ribs and upper arms. The exact cause of Ewing sarcoma is not known. If persistent pain, swelling or a lump develops in a bone or surrounding area, appropriate…

Extra cranial germ cell tumor is a rare type of tumor that develops from germ cells. Germ cells are the cells responsible for producing eggs in females and sperm in males. These tumors can develop in the gonads, such as the ovaries and testicles, or outside the gonads in areas such as the chest, abdomen or near the tailbone. The…

Extra gonadal germ cell tumors are rare tumors that develop from germ cells outside the gonads. Germ cells are normally found in the reproductive organs, where they develop into eggs in females and sperm in males. In some cases, germ cells may be present outside the gonads and can give rise to an extra gonadal germ cell tumor. These 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….

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…
