Blood Cancer

When cancer occurs in the blood, it's usually the result of an abnormal and excessive reproduction of white blood cells. About 10% of cancers diagnosed are Blood cancers. Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma are all types of blood cancer. An estimated 184,720 new cases of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2023.

Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer begins in the female organs which produce eggs. Ovarian cancer often goes unnoticed until it has spread and the cells have multiplied within the abdominal area. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and can be deadly. It is estimated that in 2023, approximately 19,710 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States.  Depending on stages and types, some can grow slowly while others can be very aggressive. It is curable if detected early. 1 in 8 men in the United States will be diagnosed in their lifetime. The goal of screening for prostate cancer is to find cancer early that may spread if not treated.
