Increasing Cancer in People – A matter of concern

Today Cancer is the most deadly and painful disease reported so far. There is a programmed cell death (apoptosis) fed inside human body where cell forms, divide and die after certain duration of time, sometimes due to cancer causing agents this mechanism of cell death stops and cancer cells gets activated ultimately leading to cancerous growth or tumor. These tumor cells are of generally two types namely: Benign (localized) and Malignant (spreadable). Benign cancer is generally localized tumor which is treatable and can be destroyed surgically or through radiation. On the other hand, malignant cancer spreads throughout whole body organ leading to untreatable or treatable cancer.
