Bladder cancer is a common type of cancer that begins in the cells of the bladder. The bladder is a hollow muscular organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine.

Brain cancer is an overgrowth of cells in your brain that forms masses called tumors. Different brain tumors can grow at different rates.

Breast cancer is when breast cells become abnormal. These abnormal cells grow, divide, and create new cells that do not function normally.

Colorectal cancer starts in either the colon or the rectum and, in most cases, develops slowly over many years. Most start as a polyp - a growth of tissue that starts in the lining and grows into the center of the colon or rectum. A type of polyp known as an adenoma can become colon cancer. More than 95 percent of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas that come from such polyps. Removing a polyp early can stop it from becoming cancerous.

Esophageal cancer results from the uncontrolled growth of cells in the esophagus. This type of cancer begins in the layer of tissue that lines the inside of the esophagus. As cancer progresses, it grows into deeper layers of the esophagus and sometimes spreads to other areas of the body.

Gastrointestinal cancers are malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and the organs related to digestion.

Genitourinary cancers develop in the male reproductive system and adrenal glands that are a part of the GU tract.

Gynecologic cancer is cancer that starts in a woman's reproductive organs and may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Liver cancer is cancer that begins in the liver. Cancer that spreads, or metastasizes, from another organ to the liver, is not considered liver cancer. That is considered cancer affecting the location where it began. As many as 36,000 Americans are diagnosed every year with primary liver cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. The majority are age 64 and over; liver cancer is rare in children and teenagers.

Lung cancer may originate in the lungs (primary cancer), or it may start elsewhere in the body and spread to the lungs (secondary cancer). There are two main types of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing cancer. It may be limited in nature, meaning it affects only one lung or its surrounding tissue, or it may be extensive, meaning that it has metastasized (spread) to other parts of the body. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is more common, making up about 85% of all lung cancers. When discovered in its earliest stages, NSCLC is one of the most treatable cancers.

Thyroid cancer occurs when the cells in your thyroid go through genetic mutations. These mutations allow the cells to grow and multiply rapidly.
