A type of skin cancer originating in melanocytes. Often due to DNA damage from UV radiation leading to mutations.

Uncontrolled cell growth in the lung tissue. Often associated with smoking and mutations in the EGFR gene.

Characterized by malignant cell proliferation in breast tissue; influenced by hormonal, genetic, and environmental factors.

Cancer of colon or rectum, often beginning as polyps. Involvement of APC, KRAS, and p53 genes is common.

Growth of cancerous cells in the prostate gland, often influenced by androgen levels. Genetic susceptibility can play a role.

Cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. Often results in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells.

Characterized by the growth of malignant cells in the pancreas. Risk factors include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes.

Abnormal and uncontrolled cell division in the brain. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, and cognitive difficulties.

The most common type of kidney cancer in adults, originating from the lining of proximal convoluted tubules.

Includes cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer; characterized by the abnormal cell growth in the biliary system.

Cancer located in the nasopharynx, which is the area where the back part of your nose opens into your upper throat. Epstein-Barr virus infection is a risk factor.

Cancer originating in the thyroid gland, often presenting as a nodule. Exposure to radiation can increase risk.

A type of leukemia common in children, characterized by the overproduction of immature lymphocytes.

Includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, typically less dangerous than melanoma. Often caused by cumulative UV exposure.

Malignant growth in one or both ovaries. Often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen.

Malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri. Most cases are linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

A rare cancer that begins in the soft tissues such as fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues.

Cancer that occurs in the esophagus, presenting difficulties in swallowing and weight loss. Risk factors include smoking and acid reflux.

Cancer developing in the larynx, or voice box. Strongly associated with tobacco use and alcohol consumption.

Diverse group of blood cancers that originate in lymphocytes. Characterized by enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and night sweats.

A category of cancers affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. Associated with tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV.

A rare cancer that forms in the muscle and supportive tissues of the uterus. Presents with pelvic pain or bleeding.

Cancer in the male testes, highest incidence in young men. Often presents as a painless testicular mass.

A rare form of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs, known as the mesothelium, commonly associated with asbestos exposure.

A rare form of eye cancer that typically develops in early childhood and can be hereditary (mutation in the RB1 gene).

Growth of abnormal tissues in the bladder lining. Smoking and exposure to certain chemicals increase the risk.

Malignancy of the uterine lining, often related to excess estrogen levels. May present with abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Abnormal growth of cells within a bone, which can be primary or secondary (metastatic). Osteosarcoma is a common type in young adults.

A type of leukemia characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells.

A type of tumor that usually begins in cells in the wall of the digestive system. It can be benign or malignant and is often linked to a mutation in the KIT or PDGFRA genes.

Most common type of liver cancer, often resulting from chronic hepatitis B or C infection or chronic alcohol use.

The most common form of skin cancer, which tends to grow slowly and is often caused by overexposure to UV radiation from the sun.

Malignant growth in the gastric mucosa, with risk factors including Helicobacter pylori infection and a diet high in smoked foods.

A type of cancer found in the oropharynx, the middle part of the throat. HPV is a major risk factor.

Cancer that forms in the tissues of the salivary glands. Tobacco use and radiation exposure are risk factors.

A cancer that develops from the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. Often associated with immune deficiency states like HIV/AIDS.

Characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, persistent fatigue, and night sweats.

Cancer that forms in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell, causing bone pain and kidney problems.

An aggressive type of brain cancer characterized by rapid growth and commonly occurring in the cerebral hemispheres.

A type of kidney cancer that mainly affects children. It starts in the cells of the kidney and may cause a swelling in the abdomen.

A common type of skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells. UV exposure and light skin are risk factors.
