Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

Small cell lung cancer, sometimes also called oat cell cancer, presents tumorous cells that are smaller than normal lung cells. This is a relatively aggressive cancer type that tends to spread through the body.

Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)

There are two types of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC presents tumorous cells that are the same size or larger than normal lung cells.

Lynch syndrome

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that has a high risk of colon cancer, as well as other cancers including endometrial, ovary, stomach, small intestine, hepatobiliary tract, upper urinary tract, brain and skin cancer.

Liver cancer

Cancer patients frequently present tumorous growths in the liver, but these are often metastases of cancers that originated elsewhere in the body. Only when a tumour develops in the liver out of liver cells, is it called a primary liver cancer.

Lip Cancer

Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and UV radiation are all contributing factors to a higher risk of developing lip cancer.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome

The Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare hereditary condition that causes its patients to have a substantially elevated chance of developing one or more types of cancer.
