INTRODUCTION: Melanoma is a condition in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the skin cells called melanocytes (cells that give the skin color). It can also occur in the eye and is called intraocular or ocular melanoma; however it can happen anywhere on the body. It is the most dangerous of the common forms of skin cancer and oftens appears as a growing coloured skin spot, usually occuring in adults, but it is sometimes found in children and adolescents. The disease is more aggressive than basal cell skin cancer or squamous cell skin cancer.

Treatments for breast cancer include hormone therapy, lumpectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, mastectomy and lymph node removal. Exactly what is done is determined by the stage of breast cancer that is diagnosed.

INTRODUCTION: About 15,280 women die every year in the US from ovarian cancer. Despite this, the 5-year survival rate for the disease has improved greatly in the last 30 years. The prognosis of ovarian cancer is closely tied to the stage at diagnosis. There is no approved screening method available at present for ovarian cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer is a condition in which malignant (cancer) cells are produce in the tissues of the pancreas a large organ that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. It is difficult to find and diagnose for the following reasons: There aren\’t any obvious signs or symptoms in its beginning stages. It typically spreads (metastasizes) quickly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a primary reason why it\’s a leading cause of cancer deaths. Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis (outcome), even when diagnosed early and may occasionally result in diabetes.

INTRODUCTION: Bladder cancer refers to any of several kinds of malignant growths of the urinary bladder. It characteristically produces blood in the urine; this may be visible to the naked eye (frank haematuria) or found only by using a microscope (microscopic hematuria).

INTRODUCTION: Testicular cancer is a disease that occurs when cancerous (malignant) cells develop in the tissues of a testicle and is the most common cancer in men aged 20 to 35. It is most common among Caucasians and rare among men of African and Asian descent.

INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix uteri or cervical area. it is a carcinoma, typically made up of squamous cells, and is akin in some respects to squamous cell cancers of the head, neck and anus. These malignancies and cervical pre-cancers are classified by how they appear under a microscope.

Dermoid cysts can occur in any person, regardless of race, sex, and age. Dermoid cysts in the ovary, of course, occur only among women. Dermoid cysts in the face, neck, or scalp, however, are usually present at birth and clearly visible.

The overall average of five-year survival rate for women who contract breast cancer is around 86% for those whose disease has not metastasized. That means, 86% of the women who contract it survive for at least five years. But even that fairly high number is just an overall average. The numbers are even better for some categories. Those numbers depend on the stage at which the cancer is detected and treated.

INTRODUCTION: Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is nearly always brought about by previous exposure to asbestos. The majority of people who develop it have inhaled asbestos particles while being employed on a job where asbestos is used, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in some other way, such as by washing and cleaning the clothes of a family member who worked with or around asbestos.
