Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form in the tissues of the bladder, the hollow, muscular organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine. It is the fourth most common cancer in men and less common in women. Bladder cancer most often begins in the cells that line the inside of the bladder (urothelial cells), though it can develop in other cell types. Early detection and treatment are crucial, as bladder cancer has a high recurrence rate, requiring ongoing surveillance after initial treatment.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control, forming a malignant tumor. It occurs primarily in women, but men can develop it too. There are several types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma (starting in the milk ducts), lobular carcinoma (in the milk-producing glands), and less common varieties. Breast cancer can be invasive, spreading to surrounding tissues, or non-invasive (in situ), remaining in its original location. Early detection through screening, advances in treatment, and better understanding of risk factors have significantly improved breast cancer outcomes, with many patients now achieving long-term survival and cure.

Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer refers to cancers that begin in the colon or rectum, which together make up the large intestine, the final part of the digestive tract. Most colorectal cancers start as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Over time, some of these polyps can develop into cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, but with early screening and detection, it is highly treatable and often preventable. Regular screenings can identify and remove precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer, making colorectal cancer one of the most preventable types of cancer.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a walnut-sized gland in men that produces seminal fluid to nourish and transport sperm. It is one of the most common types of cancer in men, particularly in those over age 50. Prostate cancer typically grows slowly and initially remains confined to the prostate gland, where it may cause few or no symptoms and may not cause serious harm. However, while some prostate cancers grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, others are aggressive and can spread quickly. Early detection, when the cancer is still confined to the prostate, offers the best chance for successful treatment. Many men with prostate cancer, especially those with slow-growing tumors detected early, may never need treatment and can be monitored through active surveillance. For those who do require treatment, options include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and other approaches depending on the cancer's aggressiveness, stage, and the patient's overall health and preferences.

Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones. It ranks as the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths among women and is often called the "silent killer" because symptoms are typically subtle and appear only after the disease has spread. There are several types of ovarian cancer, with epithelial tumors (which begin in the cells covering the ovaries) being the most common, accounting for about 90% of cases. Other types include germ cell tumors (starting in egg cells) and stromal tumors (beginning in the cells that produce hormones). The prognosis for ovarian cancer largely depends on how early it's detected. When found in its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate can exceed 90%, but unfortunately, only about 20% of cases are diagnosed early. With advances in treatment options and ongoing research, outcomes continue to improve for women with ovarian cancer.
