Cancer tumours are usually named after the part of the body where the cancer first began. Its name does not change even if the cancer spreads to another part of the body. For example, if breast cancer spreads (metastasizes) to the lung, it is still classified as a breast cancer, and is treated as a breast cancer.

Different types of cancer vary in their signs and symptoms, how fast they grow, how they spread, and how they react to different treatments. This is why it is so important to quickly and accurately diagnose a cancer, so that specialized treatment begins immediately.

For most cancers listed, you will find general information on the cancer.
