Blood cancer:  Blood cancer begins in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow or the immune system's cells. Examples of blood cancer are leukemia ( a blood cancer caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in your body), lymphoma (cancer that begins in infection-fighting cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes), and multiple myeloma (cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell). Symptoms include fever, chills., fatigue, weakness, bone and joint pain, weight loss.

Ovarian cancer:  Ovarian cancer is when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply out of control and form a tumor. If left untreated, the tumor can spread to other parts of the body. This is called metastatic ovarian cancer. Symptoms include abdominal bloating, pressure, pain, abnormal fullness after eating, difficulty eating, increased urination, and an increased urge to urinate.

Breast cancer: Cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. Breast cancer can occur in women and rarely in men. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast.

Testicular cancer: Testicular cancer occurs in the testicles (testes), located inside the scrotum, a loose bag of skin underneath the penis. Symptoms include a painless lump or swelling on either testicle, pain, discomfort, numbness in a testicle or the scrotum, change in the way a testicle feels, or a feeling of heaviness the scrotum, a dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin. Sudden buildup of fluid in the scrotum.

Pancreatic cancer: Pancreatic cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer begins in your pancreas tissues — an organ in your abdomen that lies behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas releases enzymes that aid digestion and produce hormones that help manage your blood sugar. Symptoms include abdominal pain that radiates to your back, loss of appetite or unintended weight loss, yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice), light-colored stools, dark-colored urine, itchy skin.

Non-small cell lung cancer: Non-small cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lung tissues. There are several types of non-small cell lung cancer. Smoking is the major risk factor for non-small cell lung cancer. Symptoms include a cough that won't go away, shortness of breath, weight loss, or coughing up blood.
