Disease/Condition Glossary

Cancer: Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific body part grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. Cancer sometimes begins in one body part before spreading to other areas.

Ovarian cancer: Ovarian cancer is a cancer that begins in the female reproductive organs where the ovaries/eggs are formed. It often has no symptoms in the early stages. Later stages are associated with symptoms such as weight loss and loss of appetite.

Liposarcoma: Liposarcoma is a rare tumour derived from fat tissue that occurs in the “soft tissues” of the body (soft tissue sarcoma). It is classified as a cancer (malignant) because of its potential to recur locally and spread to other areas of the body. The severity of the disease depends on the subtype of the liposarcoma and the presenting stage of the primary tumour. It can arise in various locations throughout the body, although it is most frequently found in the extremities, particularly in the thigh.
