Ewing’s Sarcoma

Cancer

Ewing’s Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer that usually starts in the bones or soft tissue around them.
It mainly affects children, teenagers, and young adults, with the pelvis, thigh bones, and ribs being common sites.
Symptoms include bone pain, swelling, tenderness, fever, fatigue, and occasional fractures.
The exact cause is unclear, but it is often linked to genetic mutations and abnormal cell growth.
Treatment involves a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and sometimes targeted therapy.

Osteosarcoma

Cancer

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer, usually affecting children, teenagers, and young adults.
It develops in the cells that form new bone, often around the knee or upper arm.
Symptoms include persistent bone pain, swelling, tenderness, and reduced movement in the affected limb.
Risk factors include rapid bone growth during adolescence, genetic conditions, and previous radiation therapy.
Treatment generally involves surgery to remove the tumor, along with chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy.

Tumor

Brain Tumor

Tumor

A Brain Tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
It may originate in the brain (primary) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary/metastatic).
Symptoms depend on the tumor’s location and size, and may include headaches, seizures, nausea, vision problems, and personality changes.
Risk factors include genetic conditions, family history, exposure to radiation, and age.
Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and supportive care.

Skin Cancer

Cancer

Skin Cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often due to DNA damage from UV radiation.
The main types are Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma.
Risk factors include excessive sun exposure, fair skin, family history, tanning beds, and weakened immunity.
Symptoms may include new growths, sores that don’t heal, changes in moles, or dark patches on the skin.
Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy depending on the type and stage.

Breast Cancer

Cancer, Female Health Issues

Breast Cancer develops in the cells of the breast, most commonly in the ducts or lobules.
It is the most common cancer in women worldwide but can also occur in men.
Risk factors include family history, BRCA gene mutations, obesity, alcohol use, and hormonal imbalance.
Symptoms may include a breast lump, nipple discharge, skin changes, or breast pain.
Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Fallopian Tube Cancer

Female Health Issues, Gynecology

Fallopian Tube Cancer is a rare gynecological cancer that develops in the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus.
It is often linked to genetic factors such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
Symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic or abdominal pain, bloating, and watery discharge.
Because it resembles ovarian cancer, it is often diagnosed at a later stage.
Treatment usually involves surgery to remove reproductive organs, followed by chemotherapy or targeted therapy.

Vulvar Cancer

Female Health Issues, Gynecology

Vulvar Cancer develops in the external female genitalia, including the labia and surrounding tissues.
It is relatively rare and occurs more often in older women.
Risk factors include HPV infection, smoking, chronic vulvar irritation, and weakened immunity.
Symptoms may include persistent itching, burning, pain, skin color changes, or a lump/ulcer on the vulva.
Treatment options include surgery (vulvectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy depending on the stage.

Vaginal Cancer develops in the cells of the vagina, the muscular tube connecting the uterus to the outside of the body.
It is a rare gynecological cancer, most often affecting older women.
Risk factors include HPV infection, smoking, prior cervical cancer, and long-term vaginal irritation.
Symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, watery discharge, pelvic pain, and a lump in the vagina.

Cervical Cancer

Female Health Issues, Gynecology

Cervical Cancer develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus connecting to the vagina.
It is most commonly caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, early sexual activity, smoking, and weakened immunity.
Symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, foul-smelling discharge, pelvic pain, and pain during intercourse.
Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and preventive HPV vaccination.

Ovarian Cancer

Female Health Issues, Gynecology

Ovarian Cancer develops in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones.
It is often diagnosed late because early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms.
Risk factors include family history, BRCA gene mutations, older age, and never having been pregnant.
Symptoms may include bloating, abdominal swelling, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and changes in bowel habits.
Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and sometimes hormone therapy.
