Tumor
Tumors, also called neoplasms, are a group of cells that grow abnormally, forming lumps. Tumors can start anywhere in the body, affecting bones, tissues and organs. There are three types of tumors: benign (benign, non-invasive growth), malignant (malignant, cancerous and invasive growth) and pre-malignant (potentially malignant) tumors. Malignant tumors are also referred to as cancer.
Risk factors for tumors include infectious diseases, immune disorders, toxin exposure, (silent) inflammation, micronutrient deficiencies or metabolic disorders. An unhealthy lifestyle also plays a major role. This includes an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking. Conventional treatments include invasive surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In integrative medicine, for example, hyperthermia, fever therapy and mistletoe therapy are used.
Blastoma – Embryonal Tumor
Blastomas are malignant tumors originating from embryonal tissue that primarily affect children – often with good chances of recovery when diagnosed early.
Neuroendocrine Tumor
Neuroendocrine tumors develop from hormone-producing cells and can occur in many parts of the body – with very distinct courses ranging from slow-growing to aggressive.
CNS and Neuroectodermal Tumor
CNS tumors and neuroectodermal tumors originate in the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system – benign or malignant, with very distinct courses and treatment options.
Germ Cell Tumor
A germ cell tumor originates from the precursor cells of egg or sperm cells and can be benign or malignant – often highly treatable when diagnosed early.
Myeloma / Plasma Cell Disorder
Multiple myeloma is a malignant disease of the plasma cells in the bone marrow – colloquially often referred to as bone marrow cancer.
Sarcoma
A sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that originates not from organ tissue but from connective and supporting tissue.
Brain Tumor
A brain tumor is a benign or malignant growth of abnormal cells in the brain.
Bone Cancer
In bone cancer, a rare but very serious paediatric cancer, unusual malignant cells are growing in the bone.
Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer is a malignant disease of the stomach and can be triggered by numerous factors.
Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumour in the bladder often due to lifestyle factors.
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a form of cancer that originates in the cervical tissue.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer can affect both women as men and is a common cancer that starts in the breast tissue.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer, also known as ovarian carcinoma, is a malignant tumour of the ovaries.
Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form in the tissues of the thyroid gland.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is an important part of our immune system.
Throat Cancer
Laryngeal cancer is a serious condition affecting the larynx, often impacting smokers and those who consume high amounts of alcohol.
Salivary Gland Cancer
Salivary gland tumors are a rare form of cancer. Integrative and interdisciplinary therapy has proven its worth.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological problem that can have a significant negative impact on quality of life.
Colon cancer
Colon cancer is a common type of cancer that primarily affects older people.
Malignant Neoplasm
A malignant neoplasm is a cancerous tumour, which can grow uncontrollably and spread to the surrounding tissue.
Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
Non-melanoma skin cancer includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. They grow slowly and rarely form metastases.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is more common in older men. It is the most common type of cancer in men.
Liver Cancer
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, is a malignant disease of the liver cells and occurs more frequently in old age.
Melanoma
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that often grows aggressively and can form metastases early on.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer tends to occur at an advanced age and should be treated in an interdisciplinary manner with experts from various disciplines.
Carcinoma
Carcinoma is a malignant tumour that originates in the epithelium and affects the skin and mucous membranes.
Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is a malignant tumour of the testicles and occurs in men at a relatively young age.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is not only caused by smoking. You can find out more about this topic here.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that is often diagnosed late.
Metastases
A metastasis is the spread of cancer, such as a malignant tumor or satellite tumors. Lymph nodes and other organs can also be affected.
A tumor can have serious health consequences and should be thoroughly investigated by an experienced doctor. An individually adapted, cause-oriented treatment can be the ideal choice for many people affected by a tumor.
