Urethral/Penile Cancer
Urethral cancer is the most rare of all urological cancer. Only 1 or 2 people out of 100 patients with cancer get this type. It is more common in men than women.
Upper Tract Tumor
Cancers of the upper urinary tract are relatively rare. The most common of all upper urinary tract cancers are those found in the renal pelvis and renal calyces. Cancer in the ureters makes up about a quarter of all upper urinary tract cancers.
Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer happens when cells in the testicle grow to form a tumor. This is rare. More than 90 percent of testicular cancers begin in the germ cells, which produce sperm.
Gastric Cancer
According the American Cancer Society, approximately 13,020 men and 8,300 women over 20 years old will be diagnosed with gastric cancer in 2012. Two-thirds of those diagnosed with the disease are over the age of 65.
Bladder Cancer
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is cancer found in the tissue that lines the inner surface of the bladder. The bladder muscle is not involved.
Adrenal Cancer
While benign (non-cancerous) tumors in the adrenal gland are very common, cancers in or around this gland are very rare.
Vulvar Cancer
The majority of cancer in the vagina is the result of the spread of a different cancer, such as cervical or endometrial cancer, into the vagina.
Vaginal Cancer
The majority of cancer in the vagina is the result of the spread of a different cancer, such as cervical or endometrial cancer, into the vagina.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia, also known as Tic Douloureux, is a painful medical disorder, in which a person suffers repeated episodes of severe facial pain.
Rectal Cancer
There are about 36,500 cases of rectal cancer diagnosed per year in the United States.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer has a highly variable natural history, presenting a bewildering variety of treatment management options to the clinician and patient alike.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is equally common in men and women, but the majority of cases occur in people over 70 years of age.
Ovarian Cancer
One in seventy women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and one out of every hundred will die from it.
Melanoma
The primary treatment for melanoma is surgical resection, typically including a wide local excision of the primary melanoma skin lesion.
Lung Cancer
In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men, and it surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death in women in the latter part of the 1980s.
Liver Cancer
The primary treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC – also known as hepatoma) is surgical removal, often by means of a complete liver removal and liver transplantation from an unrelated donor.
Kidney Cancer
The primary treatment for malignant tumors of the kidney (renal cell carcinoma – RCC) is surgical removal (1-6).
Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancer may arise from the oral cavity, tongue, tonsil, throat (including voice box), nasal areas, and salivary glands among other areas.
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a cancer that occurs when cells anywhere along the esophagus mutate and grow abnormally to form tumors.
Endometrial Cancer
Much more common than cervical cancer, the American Cancer Society estimates endometrial cancer will cause about 8,010 deaths in 2012.
