Colon cancer is the third most commonly known cancer in both men and women. Large bowel tumors are the most common type of digestive cancer and account for a large proportion of all gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries. Colon cancer is mostly treated with surgery to remove the tumor.
Cancers that begin in the cells of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum are commonly referred to as "ovarian cancer." The cancers are closely related and are treated similarly.
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the breast gland and is the most common cancer amongst women over the age of 50, but it may also occur in the younger generation.
