Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that primarily affects children, though it can also occur in adults. Rhabdomyosarcoma cells develop from abnormally growing early muscle cells and can occur in various parts of the body, commonly in the head and neck, limbs, and genitourinary organs.
View detailsHepatoblastoma
Hepatoblastoma is an epithelial-derived malignant liver tumor that commonly affects children. Key symptoms include loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting.
View detailsNeuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is a tumor composed of undifferentiated neuroblasts, primarily occurring in children. It is one of the most common childhood cancers, with nearly half of all cases diagnosed in infants under two years of age. Neuroblastoma can originate anywhere within the sympathetic nervous system. The most common primary site is the adrenal gland (40%), followed by the abdomen (25%), chest (15%), neck (5%), and pelvic sympathetic ganglia (5%). Clinical symptoms vary depending on the site of origin.

Gastric cancer refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the stomach and is one of the common malignant tumors in China. Most cases involve the malignant transformation of the gastric mucosa epithelium, leading to abnormal growth and cancer. This disease is more common in people aged 40-70, with a higher incidence in males. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, indigestion, weight loss, and black stools.

Lymphangioma is a relatively rare benign tumor of the lymphatic system that can occur in any part of the body containing lymphatic vessels. Lymphangiomas can be congenital or acquired. The most common type is congenital lymphangioma, which occurs in infants and young children. Acquired lymphangioma in adults is clinically rare.
View detailsBreast cancer
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the breast ducts or lobules. It commonly affects women aged 40-60, with a higher incidence around the perimenopausal period. Early symptoms often include breast lumps, nipple discharge, and enlarged axillary lymph nodes. In advanced stages, distant metastasis of cancer cells can lead to multi-organ involvement, directly threatening the patient's life.
View detailsEsophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer, also known as cancer of the esophagus, is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the esophagus. It primarily manifests as a choking sensation, foreign body sensation, retrosternal pain, or significant dysphagia when swallowing food. If metastasis or invasion of adjacent organs occurs, pain and corresponding discomfort in the affected organs may develop. In China, esophageal cancer ranks approximately 6th in incidence among all malignant tumors and 4th in mortality. Both the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer are higher in men than in women, with the peak age of onset being 45-80 years.
View detailsLung cancer
Lung cancer refers to a malignant tumor originating from the bronchial mucosal epithelium or alveolar epithelium. It has become the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality worldwide. According to the type of cancer cells, primary lung cancer can be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): Accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer cases. It is the most aggressive type of lung cancer, with poor efficacy from surgical resection but high sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Refers to lung cancers other than SCLC, accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. It is often treated with comprehensive therapy.
