Cancer Support Community - Type of Cancer

Type of Cancer

Learning that you have been diagnosed with cancer can be frightening. Myriad questions will need to be answered as you cope with this challenging disease.

There is not one "cookie-cutter" response, nor is there a "one-size-fits-all" remedy when fighting cancer. Answers will depend on the patient individually, as well as the tumor type and the stage of diagnosis. It is important to spend the time and familiarize yourself with the cancer that is affecting you and garnering as much knowledge as possible as you navigate the diagnosis.

To the right, you will find a listing of the most common types of cancers. Please select the tumor type that interests you. As you click through the webpages, information pertaining to diagnosis, risk factors and treatments will help as you naviagate the disease. Side effect management and helpful suggestions in combatting individual effects are at your fingertips. Additional resources and a quick fact sheet are also available for your use.

At the Cancer Support Community, it is our wish to assist you as you fight the disease. We will be adding additional cancer types to the list on a regular basis and updating the clinical information at least quarterly.

In addition to online materials, the Cancer Support Community has several free print publications available. To learn more about ordering Cancer Support Community materials, please feel free to call us.
