Leukemia
Definition: Cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow, are produced with a large number of blood cells and pass into the bloodstream.
Lung Cancer
Definition: Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the airway epithelial cells. The two main types of lung cancer are small cell and non small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on the cells under a microscope. Melanoma
Definition: A form of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells produce the melanin). You can begin in a mole (skin melanoma), but can begin in other pigmented tissues, such as the eye or in the intestines.
NHL (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma)
Definition: Any of a large group of cancers of the immune system. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can occur at any age and are often characterized by lymph nodes, fever and weight loss. There are many different types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in aggressive (fast growing) and indolent divided (slow growing) and will be able to be classified as a B-or T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Burkitt’s lymphoma, lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell follicular lymphoma, immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include mycosis fungoides, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphomas with lymphoproliferative disorders following bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are usually B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and type of disease. Well as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Pancreatic cancer
Definition: A disease in which malignant (cancer) in the tissues of the pancreas. Well as exocrine cancer
Prostate Cancer
Definition: Cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproduction system below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in older men.
Skin cancer
Definition: Cancer that forms in tissues of the skin. There are several types of skin cancer. Skin cancer, which (to make skin cells that make pigment) in melanocytes is called melanoma forms. Skin cancer that forms in basal cells (small round cells at the base of the outer layer of skin) is called basal cell carcinoma. Skin cancer, which sets out in squamous cells (flat cells that form the surface of the skin) forms of squamous cell carcinoma. Skin cancer that forms in neuroendocrine cells (cells that produce hormones in response to signals from the nervous system) is called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Most skin cancers form in older people in parts of the body exposed to the sun or in people with weakened immune systems.
Thyroid
Definition: Cancer that (help produce an organ at the base of the throat, the hormones that control heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight) in the thyroid gland forms. Four main types of thyroid cancer are papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic thyroid cancer. The four types are, how the cancer cells look under a microscope.
