Cancers & Diseases Tracheal Cancer

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 Five Common Misconceptions About Cancer Clinical Trials

Cancer clinical trials play an important role in advancing cancer care and may also be a treatment option for eligible patients. However, misconceptions about how they work can make patients hesitant to consider participating. Clinical trials help researchers evaluate new treatments, new combinations of existing treatments and other approaches that may eventually become part of standard cancer care.For patients, however, the words "clinical trial" can sometimes bring uncertainty. Will I receive a placebo? Does participating mean there are no other treatment options? Will I be treated like a test subject?Understanding what clinical trials actually involve can help patients and their families have more informed conversations with their care teams.

The Center Insights CAR-T Therapy and Community Oncology: What Expanded Access Means for Patients

Not long so, CAR-T cell therapy was available only at a handful of major academic medical centers. For patients who needed it, that often meant traveling far from home, staying near a treatment facility for weeks, and navigating a system that felt distant from the community-based care they were used to. For many, logistics alone were a barrier.That picture has changed significantly. CAR-T therapy is reaching more patients, in more places, than ever before. And for patients treated within community oncology practiced like The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, that shift has real, practical meaning.

The Center Insights Liver Cancer Is Often Silent: Why Regular Monitoring Matters for Those at Higher Risk

Liver cancer surveillance can help detect cancer earlier in people who are at higher risk, often before noticeable symptoms develop. Unlike some cancers that may cause warning signs in their early stages, liver cancer can develop quietly. Symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed, which is one reason regular monitoring can be important for certain people with chronic liver disease or other risk factors.Liver Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to understand not only the disease itself, but also who may be at increased risk and when regular surveillance may be appropriate. Knowing your personal risk factors and talking with your healthcare provider can help determine whether ongoing monitoring should be part of your care.
