Bone cancer

An abnormal growth of cells within a bone that may be cancerous or benign.

Brain tumor

An abnormal growth of tissue (tumor) in the brain that may be cancerous or non-cancerous.

Breast cancer

A disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast.

Chondrosarcoma

A malignant type of bone cancer that primarily affects the cartilage cells of the femur (thighbone), arm, pelvis, knee, and spine. Although less frequent, other areas (such as the ribs) may be affected.

Lung cancer

Cancer that usually starts in the lining of lungs, but can also begin in other areas of the respiratory system.

Lymphoma

Cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system.

Metastatic brain cancer

An abnormal growth of tissue (tumor) in the brain that travels from another part of the body to the brain (metastasize).

Meningioma

A type of tumor that grows from the protective membranes, called meninges, which surround the brain and spinal cord, and is often benign and slow growing.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

A type of cancer of the lymphatic system which can begin in almost any part of the body, causing cells to abnormally reproduce and tumors to eventually grow.

Osteosarcoma

A type of bone cancer, most often occurring in children, adolescents, and young adults, that develops in the osteoblast cells that form the outer covering of bone.

Pancreatic cancer

Cancers that begin in the pancreas.

Paranasal sinus cancer

A type of malignant cancer in the tissues of the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity.

Prostate cancer

A type of cancer that occurs when cells grow abnormally in the prostate gland and form tumors.

Head and neck cancers

Benign and malignant tumors that originate in the head and neck region, including sarcomas and nerve or lymph node conditions.

Soft tissue sarcomas

A rare cancer in one of the soft tissues. There are many different kinds of soft tissue sarcoma. In general, soft tissue sarcomas are rare.

Spinal cord tumors, spine tumors

A tumor that forms on the spinal cord or in the area around it. Even if benign, the tumor may cause pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling from pushing on the spinal cord or nerves.
