All Cancers & Diseases

Benign hematology focuses on noncancerous disorders of the blood and bone marrow. These conditions affect how blood cells are made, how they function, or how the body controls bleeding and clotting. Unlike blood cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma, benign blood disorders do not involve uncontrolled cell growth or spread to other parts of the body.Although these conditions are not cancerous, they can still cause significant symptoms and impact overall health. With proper diagnosis and care, most benign blood disorders are highly manageable, and patients can lead active, healthy lives.

Bile duct cancer, also called cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare cancer that begins in the thin tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. Most bile duct cancers are adenocarcinomas, meaning they form in the glandular cells that line the bile ducts. This disease can develop inside the liver (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) or in the ducts outside the liver (extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma).Because bile duct cancer often develops quietly and may not cause symptoms until it is more advanced, early evaluation and specialized care are especially important. Our team provides comprehensive support from diagnosis through treatment to ensure patients receive timely, individualized care.

Bladder cancer is a relatively common cancer that begins in the urothelial cells lining the inside of the bladder, the hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine. These cells also line the kidneys and ureters, but bladder tumors are far more common than tumors in those areas.Most bladder cancers are found at an early stage, when they are highly treatable and often confined to the bladder lining. However, bladder cancer has a tendency to return, which is why long-term monitoring and regular follow-up care are an essential part of treatment and survivorship.

Blood cancers develop in the bone marrow, lymphatic system, or lymph nodes, which are key parts of the body's immune and circulatory systems. Unlike solid tumors that form a mass, blood cancers involve the abnormal growth of blood or immune cells, affecting how the body produces and functions these cells.Types of Blood CancersThese cancers interfere with the normal process of making healthy blood cells. As abnormal cells multiply, they crowd out healthy ones, preventing the blood from fighting infection, carrying oxygen, and controlling bleeding.There are three main types of blood cancer:LeukemiaLymphomaMyeloma (Multiple Myeloma)

Bone cancer is a rare cancer that begins in the cells of the bone, most often in the long bones of the arms and legs or in the pelvis. It makes up less than one percent of all cancers, and many bone tumors are actually benign rather than cancerous. Primary bone cancers are different from cancers that start in another part of the body and spread to the bone. Those are considered metastatic cancers and are treated based on where they began.There are several types of primary bone cancer. Some occur more often in children and teens, while others are seen mainly in adults. Treatment depends on the type and location of the tumor and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these options. Early evaluation with a specialist helps guide the most effective plan for care.

Bowel cancer is a general term for cancer that begins in the large bowel, which includes the colon and rectum. Depending on where it starts, it may be called colon cancer or rectal cancer. Cancer can also develop in the small bowel (small intestine), but this is much less common.Bowel cancer is among the most common types of cancer, particularly in older adults. It often develops from small growths called polyps that form on the inner lining of the bowel. Detecting and removing these polyps early through screening can help prevent bowel cancer or find it at an early, more treatable stage.

Brain cancer refers to malignant tumors that begin in the brain. These primary brain tumors are less common than many other cancers, but they can significantly affect neurological function depending on their type, size, and location. Not all brain tumors are cancerous. Benign tumors do not spread outside the brain, but both benign and malignant tumors can cause serious symptoms because they grow within the limited space of the skull.There are many types of brain tumors, each with different behaviors. Some grow slowly, while others progress more quickly. Cancers that begin elsewhere in the body can also spread to the brain. These are called metastatic brain tumors.The cause of most brain tumors is unknown. Factors such as prior radiation to the head or certain inherited genetic conditions can increase risk. Early evaluation by a specialist is important because treatment options depend on the tumor's type, grade, and location.

Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in breast tissue. It often begins in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple or in the lobules that produce milk, but it can arise in other areas of the breast as well. While breast cancer can occur in both women and men, it is far more common in women and is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the United States.Thanks to increased awareness, screening, and advances in treatment, survival rates continue to improve. Earlier detection through mammograms and a more personalized approach to care have led to better outcomes and a deeper understanding of the disease.Having breast cancer can feel overwhelming, but effective treatment options are available. Many people benefit from a combination of therapies tailored to their specific type and stage of breast cancer, as well as their overall health and preferences.

Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. While most HPV infections clear on their own, some can persist and lead to precancerous changes or cervical cancer over time.Regular screening through Pap tests and HPV testing can detect abnormal cell changes early, often before cancer develops. When found and treated at an early stage, cervical cancer can often be successfully managed.Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, but routine screening and HPV vaccination have significantly reduced rates in the United States. Early detection and preventive care remain key to improving outcomes and reducing risk.

Colon cancer starts in the large intestine, or colon, the last part of the digestive tract. It most often develops in adults over 50 but can occur at any age. The disease typically begins as small, noncancerous growths called polyps on the inner lining of the colon. While most polyps are harmless, some can slowly turn into cancer over time. Because polyps usually cause few or no symptoms, regular screening is the best way to detect and remove them early, before they become cancerous.Colon cancer is sometimes referred to as colorectal cancer, a term that includes cancers of both the colon and rectum.Our colon cancer specialists use the latest, evidence-based technologies and treatments to provide advanced, personalized care. From early diagnosis to recovery, our multidisciplinary team is with you every step of the way to guide, support, and treat you with expertise and compassion.
