Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare kind of cancer that usually starts in the glands that make saliva. These are under your tongue and on each side of your jaw below the jawbone. But it also can occur in other parts of your mouth and throat or other areas of your body, such as your sweat glands or tear glands.

Adrenal Gland Cancer

Adrenal cancer is part of a group of tumors called neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). These can start in hormone-producing glands all over your body. Adrenal cancer starts in small glands called adrenal glands. You have two of them, one on top of each kidney. Cancer can happen in one or both.

Amyloidosis

Amyloidosis is when an abnormal protein called amyloid builds up in your tissues and organs. When it does, it affects their shape and how they work. Amyloidosis is a serious health problem that can lead to life-threatening organ failure.

Ataxia-Telangiectasia

Ataxia is a movement disorder caused by problems in the brain. When you have ataxia, you have trouble moving parts of your body the way you want. Or the muscles in your arms and legs might move when you don’t want them to. The word ataxia actually means “without coordination.”

Atypical Mole Syndrome

Moles, which usually look like small brown spots, are just groups of cells. The average adult has between 10 and 45 of them on their body. Most aren’t dangerous. Some go away as you get older. But how do you know if yours are normal? The best way is to look for specific features or changes that mean you should get a mole checked out.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma is a cancer that grows on parts of your skin that get a lot of sun. It's natural to feel worried when your doctor tells you that you have it, but keep in mind that it's the least risky type of skin cancer. As long as you catch it early, you can be cured.

Bile Duct Cancer

Bile duct cancer, also called cholangiocarcinoma, is when unusual cells grow out of control inside your bile ducts. Those are thin tubes about 4 to 5 inches long that move a fluid called bile from your liver to your gallbladder and small intestine. Bile helps you digest fat in the food you eat.

Bladder Cancer

The bladder is a hollow, flexible pouch in your pelvis. Its main job is to store urine before it leaves your body. Your kidneys make pee. Tubes called ureters carry the pee from your kidneys to your bladder. When you use the bathroom, the muscles in your bladder push the urine out through a tube called the urethra.

Brain Tumor

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Although such growths are popularly called brain tumors, not all brain tumors are cancer. Cancer is a term reserved for malignant tumors. Malignant tumors can grow and spread aggressively, overpowering healthy cells by taking their space, blood, and nutrients. They can also spread to distant parts of the body. Like all cells of the body, tumor cells need blood and nutrients to survive.

Breast Cancer in Men

Even though men don't have breasts like women’s, they have a small amount of breast tissue. The "breasts" of a man are similar to the breasts of a girl before puberty. Girls’ tissue grows and develops, but men’s doesn't. But because they still have breast tissue, men can get breast cancer. Men get the same types of breast cancers that women do, but cancers involving the parts that make and store milk are rare. The risk of a man getting breast cancer in his lifetime is about 1 per 1,000.

Carcinoid Tumor

If your doctor tells you that you've got a carcinoid tumor, there's a lot to take in. The condition is a type of cancer, but unlike some other kinds, there's more than one part of the body where it might start. And depending on where you get it, you could have a bunch of different symptoms, from pain in your belly to a bad cough. All carcinoid tumors, wherever they show up, affect cells that make hormones. They're part of a group of diseases called neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

HER2-positive breast cancer is when breast cancer cells have a protein receptor called HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2). Normally, this protein helps breast cells grow, divide, and repair themselves. But sometimes, something goes wrong in the gene that controls the HER2 protein and your body makes too many of these receptors. This causes your breast cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. About 1 of 5 breast cancers are HER2-positive.

Liver Cancer

The liver continuously filters blood that circulates through the body, converting nutrients and drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into ready-to-use chemicals. The liver performs many other important functions, such as removing toxins and other chemical waste products from the blood and readying them for excretion. Because all the blood in the body must pass through it, the liver is unusually accessible to cancer cells traveling in the bloodstream.

Salivary Gland Cancer

You have hundreds of salivary glands in and around your mouth. Some are so small you can only see them with the help of a microscope. Because there are so many salivary glands, and so many types of cells in those glands, there are also hundreds of types of salivary gland cancer. Most of them are extremely rare, and more than half of salivary gland tumors turn out to be benign (not cancer).

Sarcoma

A sarcoma is a rare kind of cancer. Sarcomas are different from the much more common carcinomas because they happen in a different kind of tissue. Sarcomas grow in connective tissue -- cells that connect or support other kinds of tissue in your body. These tumors are most common in the bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, fat, and blood vessels of your arms and legs, but they can also happen in other areas of your body..
