The word ‘cancer’ can be considered synonymous to death. Actually it is not a single disease, rather a group of diseases all of which are involved with the cell division in an irregular and uncontrolled manner. From lungs to brain, blood to liver- almost every part of the body can be the host of the cancer metastasis and most of those are fatal. Among the entire medical world, the fight against cancer gets the prime focus and also the cancer treatment in India gets prime importance by the Government & the doctors. Except of some incurable types like brain cancer, lung cancer and blood cancer; most of the other types of carcinoma can be cured if those are diagnosed at an early stage or at least the lifetime of the patient can be significantly increased by proper treatment. Surgical removal of the tumor, chemotherapy (oral or injected), radiation and palliative care are the common parts of the cancer treatment. Pain management and terminal care are also very important in cancer treatment. As the number of cancr
