NPC is strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and it behaves differently from other head and neck cancers.

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.

Appendix Cancer (including Carcinoid Tumors)

Appendix cancer is a rare form of gastrointestinal cancer that begins in the appendix, a small pouch attached to the colon. It includes a variety of tumor types, ranging from slow-growing carcinoid tumors to aggressive adenocarcinomas.

Types include:
• Carcinoid tumors (neuroendocrine tumors)
• Appendiceal adenocarcinoma
• Mucinous neoplasms (can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei)
• Signet ring cell carcinoma (rare and aggressive)

Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries, which produce eggs and hormones. It is the deadliest gynecologic cancer, often diagnosed at a late stage. Ovarian cancers are classified into:
• Epithelial tumors (most common)
• Germ cell tumors (develop from egg-producing cells)
• Stromal tumors (develop from hormone-producing tissue)

Secondary Eye Metastases

Secondary eye metastases are cancers that spread to the eye from other primary sites, most commonly the breast, lung, prostate, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. These are the most frequent intraocular malignancies in adults, typically affecting the choroid.

Vulvar Cancer

Vulvar cancer is a rare cancer that affects the external female genitalia, including the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and perineum. It primarily affects older women, though HPV-related cases are rising among younger women.
