Breast Cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is cancerous if the cells can grow into surrounding tissues or spread to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. It spreads through lymph system which includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels and lymph fluid found throughout the body. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped collections of immune system cells that are connected by lymph vessels. Lymph vessels are like small veins, except that they carry a clear fluid called lymph away from the breast. Lymph contains tissue fluid and waste products, as well as immune system cells. Breast cancer cells can enter lymph vessels and begin to grow in lymph nodes. ("What Is Breast Cancer?" What Is Breast Cancer?) The second most common type is lung cancer, there are three main types. There is non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and lung carcinoid tumor. Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer is a lung cancer that starts when cells of the lung become abnormal and begin to grow out of control. As more cancer cells develop, they can form into a tumor and spread to other areas of the body. Lung carcinoid tumor starts in the lungs. They are uncommon and tend to grow slower than other types of lung cancers. They are made up of special kinds of cells called neuroendocrine cells.("Lung Cancer."
