All Cancers & Diseases

Tracheal cancer is a rare cancer that begins in the windpipe, the tube that carries air between your mouth, nose, and lungs. The trachea sits in front of the esophagus and is supported by firm cartilage rings that help keep the airway open. Although cancers can develop anywhere along this airway, tracheal cancer is uncommon and often diagnosed only after symptoms become noticeable. Early evaluation by specialists is important because treatment options depend on the type of tumor, where it is located, and whether it has spread.

Uterine cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the uterus, the hollow, pear-shaped organ in the pelvis where fetal development occurs. It is one of the most common cancers of the female reproductive system.There are two main types of uterine cancer:Endometrial cancer, which starts in the lining of the uterus (endometrium), and is the most common form.Uterine sarcoma, a rarer type that develops in the muscle or supporting tissue of the uterus.Because symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding often appear early, many cases of uterine cancer are found and treated at an early stage, leading to positive outcomes.

Vaginal cancer is a rare cancer that begins in the vagina, the muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside of the body. Most vaginal cancers start in the cells that line the vaginal surface. While cancers from other areas of the body can spread to the vagina, primary vaginal cancer is uncommon. When diagnosed early, vaginal cancer is often highly treatable. Outcomes are more challenging when the disease has spread beyond the vagina, which is why timely evaluation and care are important.

Vulvar cancer is a rare cancer that develops on the outer tissues of the female genital area, including the labia and clitoris. It often begins as a persistent lump, sore, or area of irritation on the vulva. While vulvar cancer can occur at any age, it is diagnosed most often in older adults. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the cancer, and early detection can help limit how much tissue needs to be removed.
