Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells in the kidney. The two most common types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) of the renal pelvis. These names reflect the type of cell from which the cancer developed. The different types of kidney cancer (such as RCC and UCC) develop in different ways, meaning that the diseases have different outlooks (or prognosis), and need to be staged and treated in different ways. RCC is responsible for approximately 80% of primary renal cancers, and UCC accounts the majority of the remainder.

Nierkanker is 'n tipe kanker wat begin in die selle binne-in die nier. Die twee mees algemene tipes nierkanker is nierselkarsinoom (NSK)en uroteelselkarsinoom (USK) van die renale pelvis. Hierdie name reflekteer die tipe sel waar die kanker ontwikkel. Die verskillende tipes nierkanker (soos NSK en USK) ontstaan op verskillde maniere, wat beteken dit het verskillende uitkomste (of prognoses), en dat dit verskillend beoordeel en behandel moet word. NSK is verantwoordelik vir ongeveer 80% van primêre nierkankers, en USK vir die meerderheid van die res.

Bladder cancer is any of several types of malignancy arising from the epithelial lining (i.e., the urothelium) of the urinary bladder. Rarely the bladder is involved by non-epithelial cancers, such as lymphoma or sarcoma, but these are not ordinarily included in the colloquial term "bladder cancer." It is a disease in which abnormal cells multiply without control in the bladder. The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that stores urine; it is located in the pelvis. The most common type of bladder cancer recapitulates the normal histology of the urothelium and is known as transitional cell carcinoma or more properly urothelial cell carcinoma. It is estimated that there are 383,000 cases of bladder cancer worldwide.

Blaaskanker is enige tipe kwaadaardigheid afkomstig van die epiteel voering (uroteel) van die blaas. Limfoom en sarkoom kom byvoorbeeld selde in die blaas voor en word gewoonlik ook nie ingesluit in die volksmond-term vir blaaskanker nie. Dit is 'n siekte waarin abnormale selle onbeheersd vermenigvuldig in die blaas. Die blaas is 'n hol, gespierde orgaan waarin uriene gestoor word; dit word in die pelvis aangetref. Die mees algemene tipe blaaskanker is 'n samevatting van die normale histologie van die uroteel en dit staan bekend as oorgangskarsinoom of eerder uroteelselkarsinoom. Dit word beraam dat daar 383 000 gevalle van blaaskanker wêreldwyd voorkom.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancers originating from ducts are known as ductal carcinomas, while those originating from lobules are known as lobular carcinomas. Breast cancer occurs in humans and other mammals. While the overwhelming majority of human cases are in women, breast cancer can also occur in men.

Borskanker ontstaan in die borsweefsel, gewoonlik in die binnevoering van die melkkliere of die lobbetjies wat die kliere van melk voorsien. Kankers wat begin in die kliere staan bekend as buiskarsinoom, terwyl die wat in die lobbe ontstaan lobvormige karsinoom genoem word. Borskanker kom voor by mense en ander soogdiere. Terwyl die oorgrote meerderheid van gevalle vroue is, kan mans ook borskanker kry.
