Some of the causes are smoking, drinking and sometimes eating certain foods. It is important to understand the different types, causes and treatments of cancer because they can harm people when they have been done or are still using them. TYPES OF CANCER There are many different types of brain cancer. Some are noncancerous or benign cancer and other types are cancerous, malignant tumors. Brain cancer…

Primary Types of Cancer Though there are about 200 different types of cancer known today that will affect the human body, the three most common and deadliest types of cancer include: lung, breast cancer, and colon and rectal cancer. Cancer is when there is a change in our genes and it causes the cells to grow and divide more than usual. The human body's normal cell will know when to stop growing and dividing but a cancer cell doesn't which results in it multiplying into a lump, or in other…

Breast Cancer Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women. About 2.8 million women that live in United States have a history of breast cancer. The disease can be seen in men, but is more frequently seen in women. To give a better understanding about the cancer, I have decided to talk about the following; the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and awareness of breast cancer. Having a mother who has had breast cancer will double their daughters risk of breast cancer. The first…

two types of Pancreatic Cancer. One type is called exocrine pancreatic cancer. With this one there is a thing called adenocarcinomas. This means the cancer usually begins in the ducts of the pancreas. Adenocarcinomas has a ninety-five perfect of being the leading cause of the cancer. Ampullary cancer is another type of exocrine cancer. This cancer is where the bile duct and pancreatic duct come together and empty into the small intestine. Ampullary cancer is not technically a pancreatic cancer…

Lung cancer is described as a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. In 2016, there has been an estimation of 224,390 new cases of lung cancer, and the estimated number of deaths from the disease is 158,080 deaths. The number of deaths among women with the disease is increasing. Lung cancer is much more common among older people. According to statistics at m.cancer.org, “About 2 out of 3 people…

There are many different types of cancers one of them being lung cancer. Lung cancer is the uncontrolled of abnormal cell growth that occurs in one or both lungs. These cells don’t carry the functions of a normal cells or develop healthy tissues (Lung Cancer 101). There are many types of lung cancer, but the two major ones are non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. According to America Cancer Society, 85 to 90 percent of lung cancer is non-small lung cancer. However, there are…

The third cancer, lung cancer, it very deadly. It affects a good portion of the world’s population. Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. This growth may start in one lung and continue to the other. The abnormal cells grow rapidly and develop into tumors. As these tumors continue to grow, they restrict the ability of the lungs to function. The lungs are not able to provide the bloodstream with oxygen. While benign tumors do not spread throughout the body, malignant tumors do.…

Lung cancer refers to the state where there is uncontrolled cells growth in the patient’s one or both lungs (“What is Lung Cancer,” medicalnewstoday.com). In most cases, the cells that are affected are those that line the air passage in the lungs. The cells are considered to be abnormal and their growth develops into unhealthy lung tissue that affects the organ’s functionality. Their rapid division and growth eventually forms tumours. As the tumors continue to grow and become dominant in the…

sorts of different cancers that people tend to hear of. Cancer is abnormal cells that grow out of control and invade a healthy person’s body.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the most common type of cancer is breast cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer death in woman. Breast cancer is when…

Brain cancer, or rather brain tumors, are not all the same. There are four separate classifications for identifying brain tumors. The first is Grade 1, which means the brain has harmless cancer cells, which grow slowly but are not affecting the brain abnormally. The second is Grade 2, which is more dangerous than Grade 1, but only slightly so. The cells in Grade 1 and 2 only look slightly different than the normal brain cells, but it is still possible to identify them. The third type is…
