In the United States, according to statistics, the most commonly diagnosed types of cancers among children and teens (ages 0 to 17) are: acute promyeloid leukemia (APL) or acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALCL) which is also known as cancer of lymph nodes; bone cancer, including osteosarcoma, osteindigosarcoma or cancer of the bone; kidney cancer, which is kidney cell cancer; throat cancer, among which the most commonly reported types are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Overall for teens and children (ages 0 to 14) in the United States, cancer of the breast is the most commonly diagnosed type, followed by cervical cancer. The most common cancer in males (bronchial mesothelioma) is basal cell carcinoma. Cancer of the lungs, skin, esophagus, gallbladder, ovary, pancreas, thyroid, testes, kidney, liver, gallbladder, throat, esophagus, oral cavity and vaginal cancer are also reported.
Most common among both children and older adults, but less so in children, are liver, kidney and bowel cancer. Among the three types of intestinal cancer, rectal cancer is the least common, accounting for just one percent of all intestinal cancers occurring in people of all ages. The other two are the skin and stomach cancer. Lung cancer accounts for nearly one fifth of all lung cancers occurring among people in all ages.
In terms of risk factors for these types of cancers among children and adults, several things appear to be influenced. For example, certain types of physical activity, living in an environment with a high concentration of asbestos, and a family history of cancer of any kind seem to increase the risk of developing some types of childhood cancers. However, there does not appear to be any connection between obesity and the risk of these types of cancers. There does not appear to be a causal link between being overweight or obese and developing these cancers. Thus, the relationship between being overweight or obese and increased risk of these types of childhood cancers remain unclear.
As for adults, some types of cancer tend to be more common among older adults than in younger adults. These include breast cancer, which tend to appear in women after the age of 40, and colorectal cancer, which tend to appear earlier in men. Again, these types of cancers tend to have lower survival rates. This may be due to the fact that they are more difficult to treat and are often not effective in dealing with the advanced stages.
Brain tumors are another group of very serious diseases. Though they tend to affect younger people, they too can prove to be very dangerous. In fact, the risk of dying from brain tumors is very high. The types of brain cancers include glomus tumors and meningiomas. The symptoms include persistent headache, seizures, anteroposterior weakness, and difficulty remembering things. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek treatment immediately.
One type of cancer that tends to affect younger adults is spinal cord tumors. The symptoms here include wasting or drooping of eyelids, inability to open the eyes, inability to blink, neck pain, paralysis of muscles, and loss of bladder or bowel control. These symptoms are often confused with those of other conditions, so it’s important to get checked out. However, if left untreated, spinal cord tumors can cause severe disability or death. Symptoms in this disease include extreme weakness, paralysis, difficulty walking, permanent muscle atrophy, and difficulty swallowing. Though some cases are more severe than others, almost all spinal cord tumors can be treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
Finally, the last of this five cancer types is melanoma. Symptoms here include skin that’s easily damaged, age spots, pigmentation changes, and moles that spread rapidly. When it comes to melanoma, there’s no one test that can provide results for a diagnosis. Instead, your doctor will likely want to do a biopsy on your lump to see if it has any cancerous cells. Although many people believe that symptoms of melanoma are similar to those of other skin diseases, they are in fact different and more serious.
Types of cancers affect both the body and the mind, although the former is more common than the latter. There are several types of sarcomas, including those that affect the lungs and livers, as well as those that affect the bones and heart. These can be treated by surgery, radiation treatments, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Since these organs are not normally replaced with healthy tissue, treatment options are limited and some patients even have to fight against these cancers for the rest of their lives.
