10Ovarian CancerOvaryEpithelial surface (serous/mucinous)BRCA1/2, nulliparity, endometriosis, family historyBloating, pelvic pain, early satiety, urinary urgencyTransvaginal ultrasound, CA 125, CTCA 125, HE4Cytoreductive surgery + carboplatin/paclitaxel, PARP inhibitors (BRCA+)~49% (all stages)

Images: Cancer Types in Pathology & Histology

Lung Cancer — Histologic Type Distribution

Lung Cancer Histology Distribution
Lung Cancer Histologic Types — Adenocarcinoma is the most common (~38%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (~20%), small cell carcinoma (~14%), large cell carcinoma (~3%), and other types (~25%). Adenocarcinoma predominates in women and never-smokers; squamous and small cell carcinomas are strongly linked to smoking. (Source: webpathology.com)

Key Takeaways

  • Most lethal: Pancreatic cancer (5-year survival ~12%) and lung cancer (~25%) carry the worst prognoses due to late-stage diagnosis.
  • Most survivable: Prostate cancer (~98% localized), breast cancer (~91%), and melanoma (~93% localized) when caught early.
  • Biomarkers drive management: PSA (prostate), CA 125 (ovarian), CA 19-9 (pancreatic), CEA (colorectal) guide both diagnosis and treatment response monitoring.
  • Immunotherapy revolution: Cancers like melanoma, lung, and lymphoma have seen dramatically improved outcomes with PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitors.
  • HPV vaccination is the most effective primary prevention strategy for cervical cancer, now also reducing oropharyngeal and anal cancer risk.
