Carcinoid Tumor
Carcinoid tumors grow slowly and usually appear in the gastrointestinal tract or lung. Gastrointestinal symptoms include skin flushing and diarrhea, and symptoms that appear if the tumor is in the lung include difficulty breathing. Carcinoid tumors typically begin in the cells that produce hormones of various organs in the gastrointestinal tract like stomach or intestines, though they can develop in the pancreas or the testicles in men and the ovaries in women.

Chest Wall Tumor
Malignant (cancerous) tumors of the chest wall can start in muscles, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, connective or fatty tissue, nerves, or skin of the chest. Tumors found in the chest wall may be malignant or benign. They are described as being primary tumors, which start in the chest wall, or metastatic tumors, which spread to the chest wall from cancer in other areas of the body. The most common type of primary chest wall tumors are sarcomas that begin in bone or muscle tissue.

Diaphragm Tumor
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located between the abdomen and the chest cavity (thorax). It allows air to flow in and out of the lungs by decreasing pressure in the lungs and helping the rib cage expand when one inhales. Tumors can develop in the diaphragm, which can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). These tumors may originate in the diaphragm or spread from elsewhere.

Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer occurs the esophagus, which is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This type of cancer is more common in men than women and is not very common in the United States.

Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is cancer that begins in the lungs, two sponge-like organs in the chest that take in oxygen when breathing. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and smokers have the greatest risk. Some lung cancers are not related to smoking but to exposure to things like asbestos, while others occur for unknown reasons.

Mediastinal Tumor
Mediastinal tumors are benign or cancerous growths that form in the part of the chest separating the lungs (mediastinum). Mostly comprised of reproductive or germ cells, they develop in the nerves or soft tissue. These rare tumors can be formed from any tissue in the chest cavity.
