We Recognize National Cancer Prevention Month In February
Colon Cancer AwarenessColorectal cancer usually starts as a polyp. Polyps are small overgrowths in the tissue lining the colon or rectum. Polyps are not cancer.
Some polyps can turn into cancer over time. Most of these polyps are adenomas, which begin in mucus-producing gland cells that line the intestine and other organs. Adenomas are considered pre-cancerous growths. |
Kidney Cancer AwarenessDuring Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, the KCA encourages everyone to #OrangeUp and honor those impacted by kidney cancer.
Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a group of cancers that starts in the kidney. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, a lump in the abdomen, or back pain. |
Multiple Myeloma AwarenessMultiple myeloma is a type of cancer that begins in plasma cells. These are white blood cell that are important to a healthy immune system. Over time, myeloma cells collect in the bone marrow, forming tumors in many of the body’s bones. These tumors may keep the bone marrow from making enough healthy blood cells and may weaken the bones
