TYPES OF CANCERS

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the white blood cells, the cells in the body that normally fight infections. There are two main types of white blood cells-lymphoid cells and myeloid cells. ALL affects lymphoid cells.

Leukemia cells are abnormal cells that cannot do what normal blood cells do. The abnormal cells are immature white blood cells that cannot help the body fight infections. For this reason, children with ALL often get infections and have fevers.
ALL is also called acute lymphocytic leukemia


Bone Cancer:
cancers that develop in the bones. The most common type of bone cancer is osteosarcoma, which develops in new tissue in growing bones. Another type of cancer, chondrosarcoma,
arises in cartilage. Evidence suggests that Ewing’s sarcoma, another form of bone cancer, begins in immature nerve tissue in bone marrow.

Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma tend to occur more frequently in children and adolescents, while chondrosarcoma occurs more often in adults

Cancer of Unknown Primary Origin
- cancer that has spread but whose original site in the body has not been found (unknown primary)




Head and Neck Cancer:
cancers of the head and neck.








Inflammatory Breast Cancer:
an uncommon type of cancer in which the breast becomes red, swollen, and warm.





Merkel Cell Carcinoma:
- A fact sheet about the diagnosis and treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare type of cancer that develops just beneath the skin and in hair follicles.





Mesothelioma:
- Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles.




Metastatic Cancer:
- the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.


Paget’s Disease of the Nipple:
- Paget's disease of the nipple, an uncommon type of breast cancer that is sometimes called mammary Paget's disease.

Soft Tissue Sarcomas:
- soft tissue sarcomas that develop in tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body.

Synovial Sarcoma:
- a rare type of cancer that occurs in tendons, bursae, or the cavity that separates the bones of certain joints.

Testicular Cancer:
Testicular cancer is a disease in which cells become malignant (cancerous) in one or both testicles. The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are a pair of male sex glands. They produce and store sperm and are the main source of testosterone (male hormones) in men. These hormones control the development of the reproductive organs and other male physical
characteristics. The testicles are located under the penis in a sac-like pouch called the scrotum.


Waldenström Macroglobulinemia:
- a rare, chronic cancer that affects plasma cells and is classified as
a low-grade, or indolent, type of lymphoma.

Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, cancers that arise in glandular cells of the prostate’s epithelial tissue. Prostate cancers usually progress slowly and produce no symptoms in the initial stages. Eventually, the tumor may enlarge like mine too, the prostate gland, pressing on the urethra and causing painful or frequent urination and blood in the urine.
