Cancer types
Clarity and care, every step of the way.
Overview
Cancer can develop in many areas of the body, each with its own patterns of growth, symptoms, and treatment considerations. Understanding these differences is an important step in recognizing potential warning signs and exploring appropriate screening options. Learning about the various types not only supports informed decisions on testing, prevention, and care but also connects you to resources that address individual risk factors, including hereditary influences.
Most common cancer types
