Liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma, is more common in men aged 50-60 in Asia and Africa. It is caused by liver scarring or cirrhosis, often due to alcohol abuse or hepatitis. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and jaundice. Diagnosis involves liver scans and blood tests, and treatment may include a liver transplant or surgery. Prevention includes […]
Epithelial carcinoma is a pervasive type of cancer that affects the tissue lining organs. It is commonly associated with ovarian cancer, with serous epithelial ovarian cancer being the most common form. Other localized forms include clear cell adenocarcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Symptoms vary widely, but the disease is treatable if caught early. […]
Carcinomas are malignant tumors that arise in epithelial cells and can spread to other parts of the body. Early detection is key for a better prognosis. Tumors are caused by uncontrolled cell growth due to a genetic defect. Biopsies are used to determine the severity and type of carcinoma for treatment planning. A carcinoma is […]
Bronchoalveolar carcinoma is a rare type of lung cancer that grows in the alveolar sac walls of the lungs and is often fatal. Exposure to harmful substances and infection with viruses and bacteria may contribute to its development. Symptoms include cough, chest pain, weight loss, and shortness of breath. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, […]
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare cancer that affects the salivary glands in the mouth and throat, causing painless tumors that can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include numbness, sore throat, fatigue, and weakness. Diagnosis is made through physical exams and imaging tests, and treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, […]
Glandular carcinoma is a type of cancer that occurs in glandular tissue throughout the body. Symptoms and treatment options vary depending on the location and size of the growth, and early detection is important. Biopsies and medical imaging are used to diagnose and stage the cancer, and treatment may include excision, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. Metastases […]
Carcinoma is a common type of cancer that can grow almost anywhere in the body. It can be treated with radiation, chemotherapy, drug therapy, and surgery, but not all types are curable. Carcinoma can arise from damaged or mutated epithelial cells and can be classified by type and stage. Early detection and treatment can increase […]
Spindle cell carcinoma is an aggressive cancer that often originates in connective tissues and can spread rapidly. It is more common in areas exposed to the sun and can cause tumors that may be surgically removed. Treatment options include chemotherapy and radiation, but prevention through healthy habits is key. Symptoms include skin masses and fatigue, […]
Adrenal carcinoma is a rare tumor found in the adrenal cortex, which can cause excessive or insufficient hormone production. Symptoms include weight loss, abdominal pain, and weakness. Diagnosis is made through blood and urine tests, as well as imaging exams. Treatment ranges from surgical removal to chemotherapy, depending on the severity of the cancer. An […]
Islet cell carcinoma is a rare disease affecting pancreatic tissue cells, which can be functional or non-functional. Tumors are categorized based on the type of pancreatic endocrine cells affected and symptoms vary. Diagnosis is made through laboratory and imaging tests, and treatment depends on the number and location of tumors. Islet cell carcinoma, also known […]
Lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that affects the milk gland area and accounts for 10% of all breast cancer cases. There are two types: invasive and in situ. Invasive lobular carcinoma often tests positive for hormone receptors and has a better prognosis than other invasive breast cancers. Lobular carcinoma in situ is […]
Anaplastic carcinoma is a rare and deadly form of thyroid cancer that can cause breathing difficulties. It spreads quickly and is most common in women over 60 with iodine deficiencies or a history of thyroid disorders. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for survival, with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy often necessary. Survival rates can be […]
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a type of lung cancer that originates from the alveoli and is less associated with smoking. Symptoms include cough, weight loss, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment focuses on surgery and chemotherapy. Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lung. Specifically, it arises from […]
Papillary renal cell carcinoma is a type of kidney cancer that accounts for 10-15% of renal cell tumors. It is characterized by finger-like bumps and is more common in males. Hereditary and environmental factors can increase the risk of developing this cancer. Symptoms include blood in urine, fever, and lower back pain. Treatment options depend […]
Pancreatic ductal carcinoma is a fast-spreading form of cancer that occurs in the bile ducts connecting the pancreas to the liver and gallbladder. The most common type is adenocarcinoma, with symptoms including jaundice, back pain, nausea, and weight loss. Surgery is the preferred treatment, but if not possible, therapy may include stents, radiation, and pain […]
Lobular carcinoma in situ is a condition where abnormal cells in breast tissue can potentially become cancerous within five years. It is difficult to detect and usually goes unnoticed, but doctors recommend medication or surgery to reduce the risk of developing cancer in the future. The condition is usually asymptomatic and affects women between the […]
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ is a treatable cancer of squamous cells that has not yet become invasive and can affect any part of the body, especially those most exposed to sunlight, toxins, or HPV. It can be removed before becoming invasive, but if left untreated, it can become life-threatening. Treatment involves eliminating the cancer, […]
Carcinoma in situ is an early form of cancer that has not spread to surrounding tissue. It can develop into invasive cancer if left untreated. Examples include bladder and cervical cancers, ductal carcinoma in situ, colon polyps, Bowen’s disease, and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. Removal methods vary depending on location. Carcinoma in situ is an early form […]
Small cell carcinoma is a deadly lung cancer caused by smoking or asbestos exposure. It is not staged numerically and is diagnosed through imaging tests and biopsy. Treatment involves chemotherapy, but the prognosis is poor as it quickly metastasizes to other organs. Prevention includes avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke. Small cell carcinoma is a type […]
