Unfortunately, there
is no way to tell a
patient with CUP
how long they are
expected to live
because we are
unsure of where the
cancer even started.
There are no causes for
Cancer of Unknown
Primary because you don’t
know where it started!
The only way to know if you have cancer of
unknown primary is to get tested by your
doctor. They can tell that its Cancer of
Unknown Primary because this is the only
type of cancer where the primary site is
unknown.
Treatments for this
type of cancer
depends on the
location of the
cancerous cells or
the tumor.

Melanoma is located in the deep layer of the epidermis. It
originates in your eye, intestines, a growth or mole.
Melanoma is caused by lack of melanin in your skin.
Some risk factors include smoking, long term
exposure to UVA rays, sunburn and fair skin, fair eyes,
or fair hair.
Melanoma is usually treated by surgery. Chemotherapy
and radiation can also be used to cure melanoma.
Symptoms of melanoma include firm shiny bumps
and irregular moles.
Melanoma is one of the most common types of
cancer. There are about 62,480 cases a year. About
8,420 of those cases result in death.

http://kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_conditions/cancer/types_of_cancer.html
The cause(s) of
Neuroblastoma
have not yet been
discovered.
Neuroblastoma can be
treated by either radiation
or chemotherapy.
However, radiation is used
less often because of the
wide range of effect it can
have. Because children’s
bodies are so small, all of
their body parts are
located near their vital
organs. If the doctors
used radiation therapy, the
child’s brain, lungs, or
heart might very well be
damaged severely.
Austin Bryan
Common
symptoms are:
Neoroblastoma is a
childhood cancer,
meaning that it is
extremely uncommon in
people above the age of
ten. Most victims of
Neuroblastoma are 5
years or younger. If a
child has neuroblastoma,
that usually means that
they were born with it.
Usually it is only
diagnosed with a CT scan
or an MRI, and it is not
common to use these on
babies without reason.

Cancer: the mutation and rapid growth of
cells
Colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, is found
in the large intestine or rectum
Possible causes include: high fat intake, a
family history of the cancer and polyps, as
well as the presence of polyps, and chronic
ulcerative colitis.
Diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain,
weight loss, etc. are all symptoms of colon
cancer
Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery are
all methods of ridding the body of this and
other cancers
Specific surgeries for this cancer are
colectomies, proctectomies, and
colostomies
In the United States, colon cancer is one of
the most common types of cancer, in both
men and women
Usually diagnosed in older people
A diet high in fiber and low in fat/cholesterol
is one way to prevent yourself from getting
the cancer

Melanoma starts in
cells called Melanocytes
which are located
in the epidermis.
By: Tiffany Wannamaker
The cause of Melanoma is normally
ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s rays are
a major concern here. Some symptoms
are changes in a mole or freckle which
include color, size, and texture. Melanoma can be
cancerous or non-cancerous.
Melanoma can spread throughout the body if
it is not treated.
Treatment of Melanoma
includes surgery, immunotherapy,
chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Forms of Treatment:
The thyroid makes hormones
that help control heart rate, blood
pressure, body temperature, and
weight.
•Chemotherapy-rarely used, as most
thyroid cancers are benign
•Removal of tumor-difficult, because there
are so many blood vessels in the neck
•Radiation-only certain people are eligible
for this treatment, but it is by far the most
effective, with only temporary side effects

surrounding it are checked tested. Along with the
lymph nodes to insure that all cancerous cells are
removed from the body.

Starts in plasma cells, a
type of white blood

Forms tumors inside the
bone marrow. When it is
located in more than one
area, it is then technically
“multiple” myeloma.
Men, blacks, and people over 60
are most susceptible.
Symptoms include:
Fatigue, anemia,
kidney failure, blood
clots, confusion,
excessive thirst, bone
pain, weight loss,
and hypercalcemia.
Multiple Myeloma
Blood clotting in the fingers is a rare side
effect of multiple myeloma. (The black is
gangrene)
Picture grabbed from:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imag
epages/1518.htm
Treatments include: radiation, chemotherapy, and bone marrow
transplants. Some alternative treatments are red blood cell transfusions
and treatments to increase bone density. Rest, exercise, and a
balanced diet are recommended.
It is very deadly:
The survival rate is
estimated to be 34%.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
What happens:
-Leukemic blasts, which are irregular white blood
cells, fill the bone marrow and sometimes enter
the blood stream.
-These white blood cells don’t act the way normal
white blood cells do; they don’t protect the body
against infection.
-The out of control numbers of these abnormal
white blood cells take over the bone marrow and
interact with the production of other cells.

Metastatic Brain Cancer is a type of
cancer that does not originate from a
tumor in the brain. It is from another
tumor in your body. The word metastatic
means that the cancerous cells travel to
other body parts. The cells spread by
entering into your blood stream of your
lymphatic system. The cells form new
tumors in the brain. The Metastatic
Brain Cancer usually originates from lung
cancer. 1 of every 5000 people in
America get Metastatic Brain Cancer.
Treatments for Metastatic Brain
Cancer include: chemotherapy,
radiation therapy, biological therapy,
hormone therapy, surgery, and
cryosurgery. If one treatment is not
enough, then a combination of
treatments are used. Any treatment
for a patient all depends on the size
of the tumor, the location, and what
the primary cancer was. The health
of the patient and the treatment that
was already issued to the patient also
determines what treatments they get.
This picture is of a girl with a
headache. A headache is one
symptom of Metastatic Brain Cancer.
JUN PARK!
This is a picture of a girl’s head from above.
The yellow arrow is pointing to the brain
cancer inside her head.
Sometimes, there are no symptoms while undergoing
Metastatic Brain Cancer. But if you do have this
cancer, your first symptoms are headaches,
seizures, vomiting, loss of appetite, unsteadiness. A
new tumor found in a person who had already had
cancer is Metastatic Brain Cancer.
