Breast cancer

Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women and the second most common cause of death from cancer.

Breast Cancer Sign & Symptoms

Most patients present having felt a lump, which is most often painless but may be associated with pain. Other presenting symptoms include nipple change, nipple discharge and skin contour changes. Breast pain/mastalgia alone is a very uncommon presentation.

Leukaemia (blood cancer)

Leukemia is a cancer that starts from the early version of white blood cells s in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of the bones, where new blood cells are made). This is also the commonest form of cancer in children.
The term "acute" means that the leukemia can progress quickly, and if not treated, would probably be fatal within a few months.

Lymphoma

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer which starts in Lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease. Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs. There are two main types of lymphomas: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. These two types show almost the same symptoms, occur in the same places, and often have similar appearance on physical examination. However, they are readily distinguishable via microscopic examination of a tissue biopsy.

Lung cancer

Multiple myeloma

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer which starts in Lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease. Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs. There are two main types of lymphomas: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. These two types show almost the same symptoms, occur in the same places, and often have similar appearance on physical examination. However, they are readily distinguishable via microscopic examination of a tissue biopsy.

Ovarian cancer

In the early stages, ovarian cancer usually has few symptoms; in many cases, there are no symptoms at all.
Patients often attribute their symptoms to other conditions, such as premenstrual syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, or a temporary bladder problem. The main difference between ovarian cancer and other possible disorders is the persistence and gradual worsening of symptoms

Prostate cancer

Only men have a prostate gland. The prostate is usually the size and shape of a walnut and grows bigger as you get older. It sits underneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra – the tube men urinate (pee) and ejaculate through.
Its main job is to help make semen – the fluid that carries sperm.

Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which your body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a crescent or sickle. They don't last as long as normal, round red blood cells. This leads to anemia. The sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow. This can cause pain and organ damage.

Hemophilia

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which a person lacks or has low levels of certain proteins called “clotting factors” and the blood doesn’t clot properly as a result. This leads to excessive bleeding. There are 13 types of clotting factors, and these work with platelets to help the blood clot. Platelets are small blood cells that form in your bone marrow. According to the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), about one in 10,000 people are born with this disease.

Anemia

Anemia is diagnosed as any condition in which there is a decreased number of circulating red blood cells.Conditions where our body does not produce enough healthy red blood cells, destroys too many red blood cells, or loses circulating red blood cells can all lead to anemia.Red blood cells are critical to our body well-being. They carry hemoglobin, a complex protein that contains iron molecules.
