Disease/Condition Glossary
Cancer: Cancer is a genetic change in which the body's cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). Types of cancer include blood, lung, breast, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy.
Hodgkin's disease: Hodgkin lymphoma, commonly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a kind of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is a component of your immune system. It aids in the defence of your body against infection and sickness. The lymph system comprises tissues and organs that generate, store, and transport white blood cells.
Testicular carcinoma: Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the testicles. The testicles, commonly known as testes, are located in the scrotum. Testicular carcinoma is a rare kind of cancer. It can occur at any age; however, it most commonly occurs between the ages of 15 and 45. A bulge or lump on a testicle is frequently the first sign of testicular cancer. Cancer cells can multiply swiftly. They frequently spread to other regions of the body from the testicle.
Lymphocytic leukaemia: The most prevalent type of leukaemia in adults is chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). It is a form of cancer that begins in the bone marrow in cells that develop into specific white blood cells (called lymphocytes). Cancer (leukaemia) cells begin in the bone marrow and subsequently spread to the blood.
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other body parts.
Ovarian cancer: Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries (one of a pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Advanced ovarian cancer indicates that the cancer has progressed beyond the ovary. It could have spread within the pelvis or abdomen or gone to other body parts, such as the lungs.
