There is no unique or collective way that we can say that this is how all cases of cancers appears. That is to say that cancer occurring in any part of the body has a special way it occurs. Today, we are going to list the different parts of the body where you can find cancer, and mention a brief feature about them.

1) BILE DUCT: When there is a case of cancer development in the bile duct, one of the earliest symptoms is jaundice. This is caused by a disturbance to the flow of the bile. With this type of cancer, surgical treatment does not always prove effective because the symptoms usually develop late.

2) URINARY BLADDER:  When there is cancer in this area of the body, there will be bleeding in this area, and it is caused by a fragile growth in the bladder. This is one of the most common form of cancer. At the early stage of development, this cancer will appear like a sea-weed which normally floats. There are times that this can flow to the outer part of the bladder, and when this happens, it will stop the flow of the urine. When there is this type of urinary retention, it is a sign that there is a case of cancer to deal with. This may even occur abruptly. If this is detected early enough, it can be treated, either by surgery or by a combination of surgery and irradiation.

3) BONE:This is a common type of cancer. For cancer to develop in the bone, two factors will be responsible. either it is carried into the bone through the blood stream, or it will grow there through some adjacent organ or tissue. Bone cancer usually comes with pains, which sometimes may be severe, swelling around the bone area, and equally causes weakness of the bone. At this stage, the bone cracks at the slightest contact with any hard object.  When this cancer is detected early in the limb, the best treatment is to amputate the limb, but if it has spread to other bones in other parts of the body, treatment can be very difficult.

There are other parts of the body that cancer can easily be located, like the breast, which is the commonest area to be affected, colon, gallbladder etc. We shall discuss these other locations later. What we just have to know is that cancer can attack in the different parts of the body, and no matter the area it occurs, it has the potential of causing death, and that is why wee should not joke with it.
