Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of
your digestive system. Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several
inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal
cancers.Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps
of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps
become colon cancers.
Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become colon cancer.

Ovarian Cancer
Cancer that
forms in tissues of the ovary (one of a pair of female reproductive
glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed). Most ovarian cancers are
either ovarian epithelial carcinomas (cancer that begins in the cells on
the surface of the ovary) or malignant germ cell tumors (cancer that
begins in egg cells).
Most ovarian growths in women under age 30 are benign, fluid-filled cysts. There are several types of ovarian cancer. The exact causes of ovarian cancer are unknown. Risk factors that increase the chance of developing ovarian cancer include a family history of cancer, being over 55 years of age, and never being pregnant. The ovarian cancer symptoms and signs can be vague but may include abdominal swelling, pressure, or pain, frequent urination or urinary urgency, back pain, leg pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, and feeling full quickly. There are no routine screening tests for ovarian cancer.

Leukemia
Leukemia is cancer of the blood or
bone marrow (which produces blood cells). A person who has leukemia
suffers from an abnormal production of blood cells, generally leukocytes
(white blood cells). The DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white cells, becomes damaged in
some way. This abnormality causes the blood cells to grow and divide
chaotically. Normal blood cells die after a while and are replaced by
new cells which are produced in the bone marrow. The abnormal blood
cells do not die so easily, and accumulate, occupying more and more
space. As more and more space is occupied by these faulty blood cells
there is less and less space for the normal cells - and the sufferer
becomes ill. Quite simply, the bad cells crowd out the good cells in the
blood.
Symptoms: Blood clotting is poor, Affected immune system, Anemia, Patients may also experience nausea, fever, chills, night sweats, flu-like symptoms, and tiredness.

Pancreatic carcinoma
Pancreatic carcinoma is cancer of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large organ located behind the stomach. It makes and releases enzymes into the intestines that help the body absorb foods, especially fats. Hormones called insulin and glucagon, which help your body control blood sugar levels, are made in special cells in the pancreas called islet cells. Tumors can also occur in these cells, but they are called islet cell tumors.
The exact cause of pancreatic cancer is unknown. It is more common in: People with diabetes, People with long-term inflammation of the pancreas, Smokers. Pancreatic cancer is slightly more common in women than in men. The risk increases with age.
A tumor or cancer in the pancreas may grow without any symptoms at first. This means pancreatic cancer is often advanced when it is first found. Early symptoms of pancreatic cancer include: Dark urine and clay-colored stools, Fatigue and weakness, Jaundice, Loss of appetite and weight loss, Nausea and vomiting, Pain or discomfort in the upper part of the belly or abdomen.
