Cancer occurs when body cells begin to grow in an uncontrolled way. Instead of forming healthy tissue, these abnormal cells can form tumors. Some cancers remain in one place, while others spread to distant organs , this is called metastatic cancer.

To grow, tumors need oxygen and nutrients. They send signals to create new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. Modern cancer care may include treatments that target this process as part of a broader therapy plan.

Types of Advanced Cancers

Types of Advanced Cancers

  • Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Cancer of the colon or rectum that has spread beyond the intestine.
  • Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A common type of lung cancer affecting the lining of the lungs.
  • Glioblastoma: A fast-growing tumor that develops in the brain.
  • Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
  • Persistent, Recurrent, or Metastatic Cervical Cancer: Cancer of the cervix that has returned after treatment or spread.
