What Are The Types Of Cancers

Understanding cancer: types, prevention and behaviors

Types of cancer

There are two main types of cancer: solid tumors and blood cancers. Solid tumors arise and are named based on a specific organ, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, and lung cancer.
