Although cancer syndromes exhibit an increased risk of cancer, the risk varies.
Multiple adenomas or diffuse islet cell hyperplasia commonly occurs. About 30% of tumors are malignant and have local or distant metastases. [5] About 10-15% of islet cell tumors originate from a β-cell, secrete insulin , and can cause fasting hypoglycemia. β-cell tumors are more common in patients < 40 years of age.

However, some body parts contain multiple types of tissue, so for greater precision, cancers are additionally classified by the type of cell that the tumor cells originated from. These types include:
A number of multicancer early detection tests are currently in development. EK Image/Science Photo Library via Getty ImagesDetecting cancer early before it spreads throughout the body can be ...
