Prostate cancer occurs when malignant cells originate in the prostate gland. The vast majority of prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, but other less common types include sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and transitional cell carcinomas. Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but many are relatively indolent. Because of this, depending on patient age and other co-morbidities, some prostate cancer patients may not receive active treatment for the disease during their lifetime.

Liver cancers can be differentiated based on the cell types they affect. The most common form of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which accounts for 80–90% of liver cancer cases. HCC affects hepatocellular cells, or hepatocytes, which are the most abundant cell type in the liver and are responsible for the liver’s primary functions, such as bile production, protein synthesis, and detoxification. This differentiates HCC from other types of liver cancer such as cholangiocarcinoma, which affects the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts, and angiosarcoma, which affects the endothelial cells lining blood vessels of the liver.
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. CHF can result from functional abnormalities such as ventricular dysfunction or arrhythmias, or structural disorders of the myocardium or valves.
