Conditions treated
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the prostate gland, typically originating from the glandular cells (adenocarcinoma). It is the most common cancer in men and often has an indolent course, though aggressive variants can metastasize.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor arising from the exocrine (ductal or acinar cells) or endocrine (islet cells) components of the pancreas. The majority (∼90%) are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), known for aggressive behavior and poor prognosis.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor arising from the ovarian tissue, most commonly from the epithelial cells lining the ovary. It is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy due to frequent late-stage diagnosis.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of malignancies originating from lymphocytes (B-cells, T-cells, or NK cells), characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and accumulation of these cells in lymph nodes, bone marrow, blood, or extranodal sites. It is distinct from Hodgkin lymphoma by the absence of Reed-Sternberg cells.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor originating in the lung tissue, primarily from the epithelial lining of the bronchi. It is broadly categorized into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (∼85% of cases, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (∼15%, characterized by rapid growth and early metastasis).
Leukemia
Leukemia is a group of hematologic malignancies characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal white blood cells (leukocytes) in the bone marrow, leading to impaired hematopoiesis and potential infiltration of other organs.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignancy originating from the epithelial lining of the colon or rectum, typically developing from precancerous adenomatous polyps through a stepwise progression of genetic mutations.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the cells of the breast, most commonly arising from the lobules (milk-producing glands) or ducts (milk passages). It can be invasive (spreading to surrounding tissues) or in situ (confined to the site of origin).
