Understanding cancer

The types of cancer

Cancer can affect almost any part of the body, and there are a number of different types. Some grow very slowly and may not have any symptoms while others can grow quickly and have a significant impact on your health. There are different types of treatment depending on the type of cancer, where it is in your body and if it has spread, for example radiotherapy for breast cancer.

Some of the most common types of cancer are:

Breast cancer

Prostate cancer

Lung cancer

Colon cancer

Lymphoma
