Medical imaging has become an important part of diagnosing, early detection, and treating cancers. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on various image processing techniques for medical images specifically examined cancer diseases for most body sections. These sections are Bone, Liver, Kidney, Breast, Lung, and Brain. Detection of medical imaging involves different stages such as classification, segmentation, image pre-processing, and feature extraction. With regard to this work, many image processing methods will be studied, over 10 surveys reviewing classification, feature extraction, and segmentation methods utilized image processing for cancer diseases for most body's sections are clearly reviewed.
