Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers starting in the mouth, throat, nose, sinuses, or voice box (larynx). These cancers are often caused by tobacco use, regular alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. Symptoms include lumps that lead to difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness, and a persistent sore throat.
Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumours. If left unchecked, the tumours can spread throughout the body and become fatal. About 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer each year are 45 years of age or older.
The cancers of the food pipe (esophageal cancer), stomach, and small intestine are all types of gastrointestinal cancers. This can adversely affect the digestive system and can cause immense pain, weight loss, and issues in the digestive system.
Mediastinal and lung cancers are types of thoracic cancers. Mediastinal cancer occurs in the mediastinum, i.e., the area in the middle of the chest that separates the lungs, whereas lung cancer begins inside the lungs.
