CANCER
of
Unknown??
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell a patient
with CUP how long they are expected to live
because we are unsure of where the cancer even
started.
Primary
Treatments for this type of cancer depends on the
location of the cancerous cells or the tumor.
There are no causes for Cancer of Unknown Primary
because you dont know where it started!
The only way to know if you have cancer of
unknown primary is to get tested by your doctor.
They can tell that its Cancer of Unknown Primary
because this is the only type of cancer where the
primary site is unknown.

Melanoma
Where its found
Melanoma is located in the deep layer of the
epidermis. It originates in your eye, intestines,
a growth or mole.
What can cause it
Melanoma is caused by lack of melanin in your
skin.
Some risk factors include smoking, long term
exposure to UVA rays, sunburn and fair skin, fair
eyes, or fair hair.
Risk factors of melenoma
How it can be treated
Melanoma is usually treated by surgery.
Chemotherapy and radiation can also be used to
cure melanoma.
Symptoms
Symptoms of melanoma include firm shiny bumps and
irregular moles.
Melanoma is one of the most common types of
cancer. There are about 62,480 cases a year.
About 8,420 of those cases result in death.

SALIVARY GLAND CANCER

• The exact cause of Salivary Gland Cancer is not
  known. In some cases the cancer may come from DNA
  damage, which happens after years of tobacco use
  or radiation and heredity has a part in it too
• Some symptoms of this cancer include a lump on
  the face, neck, or mouth numbness on your face
  and a difference in the looks on opposite sides
  of the face
• Some treatments for this cancer are you can have
  it removed by surgery or you could have radiation
  therapies

Testicular Cancer
Can be treated by surgery, fractionated dose
chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

• This is a cancer that forms in the tissues of the
  testis.
• Caused by the over productive growth of a germ
  cell.
• The symptoms are swelling or enlargement of a
  testicle, pain in a testicle or the scrotum, and
  a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum.
• Usually occurs in young or middle-aged men.

Neuroblastoma
The cause(s) of Neuroblastoma have not yet been
discovered.

• Common symptoms are
• Child has bulging eyes with dark circles around
  them
• Large noticeable tumors located on the childs
  body usually located near the spinal cord and the
  abdomen.

Neoroblastoma is a childhood cancer, meaning that
it is extremely uncommon in people above the age
of ten. Most victims of Neuroblastoma are 5
years or younger. If a child has neuroblastoma,
that usually means that they were born with it.
Usually it is only diagnosed with a CT scan or an
MRI, and it is not common to use these on babies
without reason.
Neuroblastoma can be treated by either radiation
or chemotherapy. However, radiation is used
less often because of the wide range of effect it
can have. Because childrens bodies are so
small, all of their body parts are located near
their vital organs. If the doctors used
radiation therapy, the childs brain, lungs, or
heart might very well be damaged severely.

Symptoms- Jaundice (The yellowing of the skin
and whitening of the eyes.), pain in the abdomen,
fever, and itchy skin. Jaundice is not caused by
Bile Duct Cancer, but by a stone escaping the
gallbladder and becoming entrapped and blocking
the bile duct.
Causes- Bile Duct Cancer is caused from the
excessive build up of cancer cells on the bile
duct located outside the liver. Risk Factors
include Primary sclerosing cholangitis, Chronic
ulcerative colitis, Choledochal cysts, Infection
with a Chinese liver fluke parasite.

Melanoma starts in cells called Melanocytes
which are located in the epidermis.
Melanoma
Most serious type of skin cancer
The cause of Melanoma is normally ultraviolet
radiation. The suns rays are a major concern
here. Some symptoms are changes in a mole or
freckle which include color, size, and texture.
Melanoma can be cancerous or non-cancerous.
Melanoma can spread throughout the body if it
is not treated.
Treatment of Melanoma includes surgery,
immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation
therapy. produce melanin which gives the skin
its natural color.
Melanoma can also be found on the eye and in
the intestines.

• Forms of Treatment
• Chemotherapy-rarely used, as most thyroid cancers
  are benign
• Removal of tumor-difficult, because there are so
  many blood vessels in the neck
• Radiation-only certain people are eligible for
  this treatment, but it is by far the most
  effective, with only temporary side effects

The thyroid makes hormones that help control
heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and
weight.

Multiple Myeloma
Men, blacks, and people over 60 are most
susceptible.
Starts in plasma cells, a type of white blood
cells.
Symptoms include Fatigue, anemia, kidney
failure, blood clots, confusion, excessive
thirst, bone pain, weight loss, and
hypercalcemia.
Forms tumors inside the bone marrow. When it is
located in more than one area, it is then
technically multiple myeloma.

• Treatments include radiation, chemotherapy, and
  bone marrow transplants. Some alternative
  treatments are red blood cell transfusions and
  treatments to increase bone density. Rest,
  exercise, and a balanced diet are recommended.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
By Darcy Dirksen.
Caused By -Exposure to large amounts of
radiation -Smoking -Having genetic problems such
as Down Syndrome -Handling certain
chemicals -Some type of chemotherapy to treat
other cancer
Symptoms -Fatigue -Bleeding and bruising
easily -Sleep problems -Swollen lymph nodes -Bone
and joint pain -Headaches -Swollen and hurting
stomach -Multiple infections -Not feeling
hungry -Losing weight -Anemia
What happens -Leukemic blasts, which are
irregular white blood cells, fill the bone marrow
and sometimes enter the blood stream. -These
white blood cells dont act the way normal white
blood cells do they dont protect the body
against infection. -The out of control numbers of
these abnormal white blood cells take over the
bone marrow and interact with the production of
other cells.
Interesting Facts -It is most common in
teens. -Acute means that you feel sick right
away, and it gets very bad extremely fast. -It
can be diagnosed by blood tests and bone marrow
tests.
Treatments -Chemotherapy -Radiation -Bone
marrow transplants -Stem cell transplant

METASTATIC BRAIN CANCER!
JUN PARK!
Metastatic Brain Cancer is a type of cancer that
does not originate from a tumor in the brain. It
is from another tumor in your body. The word
metastatic means that the cancerous cells travel
to other body parts. The cells spread by entering
into your blood stream of your lymphatic system.
The cells form new tumors in the brain. The
Metastatic Brain Cancer usually originates from
lung cancer. 1 of every 5000 people in America
get Metastatic Brain Cancer.
This picture is of a girl with a headache. A
headache is one symptom of Metastatic Brain
Cancer.
This is a picture of a girls head from above.
The yellow arrow is pointing to the brain cancer
inside her head.
Treatments for Metastatic Brain Cancer
include chemotherapy, radiation therapy,
biological therapy, hormone therapy, surgery, and
cryosurgery. If one treatment is not enough, then
a combination of treatments are used. Any
treatment for a patient all depends on the size
of the tumor, the location, and what the primary
cancer was. The health of the patient and the
treatment that was already issued to the patient
also determines what treatments they get.
Sometimes, there are no symptoms while undergoing
Metastatic Brain Cancer. But if you do have this
cancer, your first symptoms are headaches,
seizures, vomiting, loss of appetite,
unsteadiness. A new tumor found in a person who
had already had cancer is Metastatic Brain Cancer.
