Malignant disease conditions 

Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common malignant tumors of the skin and primarily include basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequently occurring type and is generally slow-growing with a low metastatic potential.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation of mature but functionally abnormal B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid tissues.

Thyroid carcinoma is a malignant tumour arising from the thyroid gland, an endocrine organ located in the anterior neck responsible for production of thyroid hormones. It is the most common endocrine malignancy and represents a heterogeneous group of cancers with different biological behaviours, treatment responses, and prognoses.

Screening and early detection target cervical, breast, colorectal, prostate and skin cancers.
