The five main types of gynecologic cancer are: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. (A sixth type of gynecologic cancer is the very rare fallopian tube cancer.) Of all the gynecologic cancers, only cervical cancer has screening tests that can find this cancer early, when treatment can be most effective.
Five main types of cancer affect a woman's reproductive organs: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. As a group, they are called gynecologic cancers. Cancers of the head and neck include cancers that start in several places in the head and throat, not including brain cancers or cancers of the eye.
Lung and bronchus cancer is responsible for the most deaths with 127,070 people expected to die from this disease. That is nearly three times the 52,550 deaths due to colorectal cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer death.
According to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year cancer survival rates for some common late-stage cancers are: Colon cancer: 11% Rectal cancer: 12% Breast cancer: 21% Prostate cancer: 29% Thyroid cancer 28 - 51%...
Other rare gynecological cancers:
Melanoma in skin pigment cells. Sarcoma in deep tissues. Ovarian germ (egg) cell tumors. Trophoblastic tumors in cells that develop into the placenta during pregnancy.
Silent cancers include breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer. Screening is an essential tool for preventing and early diagnosis of such cancers. It helps in reducing the mortality rate and enhancing the survival rate.
Depending on the definition, overall reported frequency of multiple primary cancers varies between 2.4% and 17%. Underlying causes for multiple primary cancers may include host and lifestyle-related factors, environmental and genetic factors and treatment related factors.
Symptoms of triple negative breast cancer
a new lump or thickening in your breast or armpit. a change in size, shape or feel of your breast. skin changes in the breast such as puckering, dimpling, a rash or redness of the skin.
Brain and pancreatic cancers have much lower median survival rates which have not improved as dramatically over the last forty years. Indeed, pancreatic cancer has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers. Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website.
Thyroid cancer: At stage 1 and 2, the five-year survival is 98–100%. Melanoma: At stage 1, the five-year survival is about 99%. Cervical cancer: The five-year relative survival rate for all localized stages is 92%. Hodgkin lymphoma: The five-year relative survival rate of about 92-95 % for stage 1 and 2.
The Fastest Killing Cancer
If defining "fastest-killing" cancer is based on which cancer has the worst 5-year relative survival rate, then it would be a tie between pancreatic cancer and malignant mesothelioma (a relatively rare cancer in the U.S. with about 3,000 cases a year).
The LSCT was set up by a group of charities all aiming to double survival rates of the six less survivable cancers by 2029. These are stomach, oesophageal, pancreatic, liver, brain & lung cancer, with an average five-year survival rate of just 16%.
Which Type of Cancer Spreads the Fastest? The fastest-moving cancers are pancreatic, brain, esophageal, liver, and skin. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancer because it's fast-moving and there's no method of early detection.
What are the 5 Most Deadly Cancers? The top 5 most deadly cancers among men and women include lung cancer, mesothelioma, colon cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Learn more about the deadliest cancers, their treatment options, and their causes.
TLDR: the most curable forms of cancer include: colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. Stage 1 cancer is also curable, especially when caught in its early stages. The earlier you detect cancer, the higher your odds are of curing it before it becomes severe.
