G – Cancer A-Z

Gallbladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy that arises in the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver that stores bile. It is often diagnosed late due to non-specific symptoms.

Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (Choriocarcinoma)

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of rare tumors that involve abnormal growth of trophoblast cells, which normally develop into the placenta during pregnancy. One aggressive form is choriocarcinoma, a malignant tumor that can spread quickly but responds well to treatment.

Types of GTD include:
• Hydatidiform mole (complete or partial molar pregnancy)
• Invasive mole
• Choriocarcinoma
• Placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT)

Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (also known as glioblastoma multiforme or GBM) is the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor. It originates from astrocytes — star-shaped cells that support nerve cells — in the brain or spinal cord. GBM accounts for about 15% of all brain tumors and is known for its rapid growth and resistance to treatment.

Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare, generally benign but locally aggressive tumor that usually develops at the ends of long bones, such as the femur, tibia, or radius. While most are non-cancerous, some may become malignant or recur.
