Oropharyngeal Cancer (Tongue, Tonsils, Soft Palate)

Oropharyngeal cancer develops in the oropharynx, the middle part of the throat behind the mouth, including the back of the tongue, tonsils, soft palate, and pharyngeal walls. It is most commonly a squamous cell carcinoma and is increasingly linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially in younger non-smokers.

Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer develops in the colon or rectum, parts of the large intestine. It is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is largely preventable with regular screening. Most cases begin as precancerous polyps that gradually become malignant.

Main types:
• Adenocarcinoma (most common)
• Rare types: carcinoid tumors, lymphomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)

Intraocular Melanoma (Uveal Melanoma)

Intraocular melanoma is the most common primary eye cancer in adults, originating from melanocytes in the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, or choroid). It is distinct from skin melanoma but shares similar cellular origins.

Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell, Small Cell)

Lung cancer originates in the lungs and is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. It is divided into two main types:

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): ~85% of cases; includes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): ~15% of cases; more aggressive and fast-spreading.

Sebaceous Carcinoma of the Eyelid

Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that originates in the sebaceous glands of the eyelid, most commonly in the meibomian glands. It often mimics benign conditions like chalazion or blepharitis, making early diagnosis challenging.

Vaginal Cancer

Vaginal cancer is a rare cancer that forms in the vaginal lining. It primarily affects older women and is often linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Most cases are secondary (spread from nearby cancers), while primary vaginal cancer is uncommon.

Main types include:
• Squamous cell carcinoma (most common)
• Adenocarcinoma
• Melanoma and sarcoma (rare)

Laryngeal Cancer

Laryngeal cancer is a malignancy that arises in the larynx (voice box), located in the throat. The most common type is squamous cell carcinoma, affecting the cells lining the larynx. It is strongly associated with smoking and heavy alcohol use.
The larynx is divided into three parts:
• Supraglottis (above the vocal cords)
• Glottis (the vocal cords)
• Subglottis (below the vocal cords)

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive form of breast cancer, meaning the abnormal cells are confined to the milk ducts and have not yet invaded the surrounding breast tissue.
It is sometimes referred to as Stage 0 breast cancer.
DCIS accounts for about 20–25% of all new breast cancer diagnoses and is typically found during routine mammography, as it often produces no palpable lump.
Although non-invasive, DCIS can progress to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) if untreated, making early detection and management critical.

Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor (JGCT)

Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor (JGCT) is a rare ovarian sex cord–stromal tumor that originates from the granulosa cells of the ovary, which normally produce estrogen.
It represents the juvenile subtype of granulosa cell tumors, typically affecting children, adolescents, and young women under 30 years of age.
JGCT accounts for 5–10% of all granulosa cell tumors and <1% of all ovarian cancers. Unlike the adult form, JGCT often presents with hormone-related symptoms (due to estrogen excess) and tends to be less aggressive. Most cases are unilateral and stage I at diagnosis.
