Cancer Types

Cancer can affect different parts of the body, and each type behaves in unique ways. Understanding these main cancer types — such as lung, multiple myeloma, leukemia, breast, and lymphoma — helps patients learn where the disease starts, how it progresses, and what treatment options may be available. Early awareness and accurate diagnosis are key to effective treatment and management.

What is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer starts in the lungs and occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that interfere with breathing and can spread to other parts of the body.

What is Multiple Myeloma?

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, leading to weakened bones, low blood counts, and kidney problems as abnormal cells multiply excessively.

What is Leukemia?

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow where the body produces abnormal white blood cells, disrupting normal cell production and weakening the immune system.

Leukemia

What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer develops in breast tissue when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, often forming lumps or spreading to other areas, commonly affecting both women and, rarely, men.

Breast Cancer

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma begins in the lymphatic system, where abnormal lymphocytes grow uncontrollably, forming tumors in lymph nodes or other tissues, affecting the body’s ability to fight infections.
