About Cancer

    Cancer isn't a sickness at all. There are nearly 200 different types of cancer nowadays. Cancer can start in any cell and spread to other sections of the body, generating new tumors. The cancerous cells migrate into the lymphatic or blood arteries ­­ eventually function and suck nutrients from body tissues, a process known as metastasis. Cancers continue to grow and spread, either directly or indirectly. Don't cause new tumors in the body. Tumors, whether malignant or cancerous, force healthy cells out and obstruct physiological functions. Tumors are formed by cancers, although not all tumors are cancerous. Benign or non-cancerous tumors do not propagate in other body regions. Sanitary cells divide and replace each other over our lives.

Cancer Treatment In India 

            A number of separate treatments can be used to treat cancer with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted treatment (incl. immunotherapy such as monoclonal treatment for the disease), and synthetic mortality. The choice of treatment depends on where the tumor is and what stage of the disease is, and on the overall patient's state (performance status). Sequencing of the cancer genome helps to identify the cancer patient exactly for the best cancer treatment. The effectiveness of distant sites is often limited by microscopic metastases, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy can damage normal cells.
