There are more than 200 types of cancer including carcinomas (involving the skin and the coverings of internal organs), sarcomas (involving connective and supportive tissue such as muscle, fat, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels), leukemias (involving bone marrow and blood tissue), lymphoma and myeloma (affecting the immune system), and brain and spinal cord tumors. A presumptive diagnosis of cancer can be made through a physical exam, a detailed medical history, and tests such as X-rays, blood tests, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and radionuclide scan. However, a biopsy is the best way to make a definitive diagnosis of cancer and its type. A combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy is usually used to treat cancer.
