Congenital Neutropenia : A rare blood disorder where a person has a low number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that fights infections.

Colorectal or Colon Cancer : Cancer that starts in the colon or rectum, both parts of the large intestine. It's one of the most common cancers worldwide, but early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

Mixed Gliomas : Brain tumors composed of multiple types of glial cells, which are the supporting cells in the brain. The specific types of glial cells involved determine the tumor's grade and aggressiveness.

Aplastic Anemia : A serious blood disorder where the bone marrow doesn't produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This can lead to fatigue, increased risk of infection, and bleeding problems.

Cervical Cancer : Cancer of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It's often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be prevented through vaccination and regular screenings.

Rectal Cancer : Cancer that starts in the rectum, the lower part of the large intestine near the anus. Treatment options are similar to colon cancer and depend on the stage of the disease.

Metastatic Cancer : Cancer that has spread from its original location in the body to other organs or tissues.

Pancreatic Cancer : An aggressive cancer that starts in the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It's often diagnosed at a later stage when treatment options are limited.

Oral or Mouth Cancer : Cancer that develops in any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and roof of the mouth. Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption are major risk factors.
