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.

Cancers & Diseases Uterine Cancer

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.

Cancers & Diseases Vaginal Cancer

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.

Cancers & Diseases Vulvar Cancer

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.

The Center Insights Understanding Cancer Survivorship: Life After Treatment

Cancer survivorship begins at the time of a cancer diagnosis and continues throughout the rest of a person's life. While completing treatment is an important milestone, many patients find that life after cancer comes with new questions, challenges, and adjustments.During National Cancer Survivors Month, it is important to recognize that survivorship includes physical recovery, emotional well-being, and ongoing medical care.

Press Release Cancer Patients Experience Longer Survival In Community Oncology Settings

Flatiron Health and Community Oncology Alliance partner to deliver first comprehensive, real-world assessment of care in community oncology, affirming the high-quality care delivered across community practices.Patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer had longer survival compared to national benchmarks when treated in independent community oncology practices, according to a new study commissioned by the Community Oncology Alliance (COA) and conducted by Flatiron Health. The research supports independent community oncologists' ability to deliver high-quality outcomes for the majority of U.S. patients with cancer who receive care in community oncology settings.The study shows that median survival for patients diagnosed with breast cancer that spread to other organs and treated at a Flatiron Health Research Network (FHRN) community oncology practice exceeded national benchmarks by eight months. Median survival for those with non-small cell lung cancer- the most common lung cancer- treated at FHRN community oncology practices exceeded national benchmarks by two month. Survival rates after one, three, and five years were consistently higher for patients treated at community oncology practices within the FHRN relative to national benchmarks.Click to read the full press releaseClick to read the full study on quality of care in community oncology
