Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is primarily caused by persistent HPV infection and is highly preventable through vaccination and routine screening. Early detection ensures excellent outcomes, while late stages require multimodal treatment. Gynecologic oncology, radiology, and pathology play key roles in management.

Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancers are common worldwide and often develop from precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, but many cases present late due to subtle or overlooked symptoms. Risk factors include age, family history, inflammatory bowel disease, lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol, low-fiber diet), and genetic predispositions. Effective care requires coordinated management across gastroenterology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiology.

Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers refer to a group of cancers that affect the organs of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, colon, and rectum. These cancers are among the most common globally and often present late, making early detection and organized oncological care extremely important. Their causes include genetic factors, lifestyle habits (such as smoking, alcohol, and diet), chronic infections, and inflammatory conditions. Successful management typically requires multidisciplinary care involving medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation therapy, gastroenterology, and precision diagnostics.

Leukemia

Leukemia is a group of cancers affecting the blood and bone marrow, leading to abnormal white blood cell production. Symptoms may appear gradually or suddenly. Risk factors include genetics, radiation exposure, and certain chemical exposures. Treatment involves hematology, oncology, transplant units, and precision diagnostics.

Liver Cancer

Liver cancer often arises in individuals with chronic liver disease, hepatitis B or C, fatty liver disease, or long-term alcohol use. It frequently presents late, making early detection and risk-based monitoring essential. Treatment involves hepatology, oncology, radiology, and surgical teams.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer commonly arises from cells lining the airways and is strongly associated with smoking, though nonsmokers can also develop it due to genetic or environmental factors. It often presents late, making early detection and timely intervention crucial. Successful management requires multidisciplinary care involving pulmonology, oncology, thoracic surgery, and radiation therapy.

Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer often presents with vague symptoms and is typically diagnosed at later stages. Risk factors include age, BRCA mutations, family history, and hormonal influences. Management relies on gynecologic oncology, surgery, chemotherapy, and genetic counseling.

Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer develops in the pancreas and is often diagnosed late due to vague symptoms. It can progress rapidly and requires a coordinated treatment approach. Risk factors include smoking, genetics, chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes. Management involves oncology, gastroenterology, surgery, and supportive care teams.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer originates in the prostate gland and is common among older men. Many cases progress slowly, while others are aggressive and require immediate treatment. Risk factors include age, genetics, family history, and certain lifestyle factors. Care typically involves urology, oncology, radiology, and precision diagnostics.

Skin Cancer (Melanoma & Non-Melanoma)

Skin cancers arise from abnormal growth of skin cells due to UV exposure, genetics, or environmental factors. Melanoma is aggressive, while other types like basal and squamous cell carcinoma are often more treatable when caught early. Prevention relies heavily on sun protection and regular skin checks.
