Frequently Asked Questions About Common Cancer Types
What are the most common types of cancer?
According to the National Cancer Institute, the most common cancers diagnosed in the United States include breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, bladder cancer, kidney cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Prevalence varies by age, sex and other demographic factors.[2]
What causes cancer?
Cancer develops when cells grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. This can result from genetic mutations that may be inherited or acquired over time. Risk factors vary by cancer type but may include age, family history, tobacco use, certain infections, radiation exposure, environmental factors and lifestyle factors. In many cases, the exact cause cannot be identified.[3]
How is cancer diagnosed?
Cancer diagnosis typically involves a combination of methods, which may include physical examination, imaging tests, laboratory tests and biopsy. The specific diagnostic approach depends on the type of cancer suspected and its location. A pathologist examines tissue samples to confirm the diagnosis and determine cancer characteristics.[3]
What is cancer staging?
Staging describes the extent of cancer in the body, including tumor size and whether cancer has spread. Staging helps healthcare providers understand the prognosis and determine appropriate care approaches. Staging systems vary by cancer type, with the TNM system being one of the most commonly used.[3]
Where can I find reliable information about cancer?
The National Cancer Institute at cancer.gov and the American Cancer Society at cancer.org are authoritative sources of cancer information. Your oncology team is also an important resource for information specific to your diagnosis and situation.
