WHAT IS CANCER ??
• Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in a body. These
abnormal cells are termed cancer cells, malignant cells, or tumor cells. These
cells can infiltrate normal body tissues. Many cancers and the abnormal cells
that compose the cancer tissue are further identified by the name of the tissue
that the abnormal cells originated from (for example, breast cancer, lung cancer,
colorectal cancer). Cancer is not confined to humans; animals and other living
organisms can get cancer. Below is a schematic that shows normal cell division
and how when a cell is damaged or altered without repair to its system, the cell
usually dies. Also shown is what occurs when such damaged or unrepaired cells
do not die and become cancer cells and show uncontrolled division and growth a
mass of cancer cells develop. Frequently, cancer cells can break away from this
original mass of cells, travel through the blood and lymph systems, and lodge in
other organs where they can again repeat the uncontrolled growth cycle. This
process of cancer cells leaving an area and growing in another body area is
termed metastatic spread or metastasis. For example, if breast cancer cells
spread to a bone, it means that the individual has metastatic breast cancer to
bone This is not the same as "bone cancer," which would mean the cancer had

BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the
breast. Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of
con Breast cancer cells usually form a tumor that
can often be seen on an x- ray or felt as a lump.
Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but
men can get breast cancer, too.

LUNG CANCER
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in
American men and women, It's also the leading
cause of cancer-related deaths for both American
men and women. One in every four cancer-related
deaths is from lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is the
leading cause of lung cancer. Men who smoke are
23 times more likely to develop lung cancer. Women
who smoke are 13 times more likely, both when
compared with nonsmokers.
PROSTATE CANCER
• Prostate cancer is a serious disease that affects 6
thousands of men each year who are middle-aged or
older. About 60 percent of the cases occur in men older
than age 65. The American Cancer Society(ACS)
estimates that 174,650 American men will he newly
diagnosed with this condition in 2019. The prostate is a
small gland found in a man's lower abdomen. It's
located under the bladder and surrounding the urethra.
The prostate is regulated by the hormone testosterone
and produces seminal fluid, also known as semen.
Semen is the substance containing sperm that exits
the urethra during ejaculation.

THYROID CANCER
• Thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in the lower front part of
your neck. The hormones it makes are carried throughout
your body to help regulate heat and energy. Anaplastic
thyroid cancer is one of four types thyroid cancer. It's very
rare The American of Thyroid Association notes that this type
represents less than 2 percent of all cases of thyroid cancer it
metastasizes, or spreads, quickly to other organs. It's one of
the most Trusted Source aggressive cancers in humans .
KIDNEY (RENAL CELL and RENAL PELVIS) CANCER
• The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the 7
size of a fist. They're located in your abdomen on either
side of your spine. The kidneys filter out waste from your
blood and make urine. There are different types of cancer
that can affect your kidneys. The National Cancer
Institute estimates that there were more than 63,000 new
cases of kidney cancer in the United States in 2017. The
incidence of kidney cancer appears to be increasing,
according to the Mayo Clinic. One possible reason may be
increased screening by CT scans.

PANCREATIC CANCER
• Pancreatic cancer occurs within the tissues of the
pancreas, which is a vital endocrine organ located behind
the stomach. The pancreas plays an essential role in
digestion by producing enzymes that the body needs to
digest fats, carbo the pancreas also produces two
important hormones, glucagon and insulin. These
hormones are responsible for controlling glucose (sugar)
metabolism. Insulin helps cells metabolize glucose to
make energy and glucagon helps raise glucose levels
when they are too low hydrates, and proteins
