Cancer Care
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. It refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and can infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer often can spread throughout your body. Cancer is a genetic disease which means that, it is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide.
Changes in a cell's DNA are what create cancer. A cell's DNA is organized into many distinct genes, each of which carries a set of instructions directing the cell's growth and division in addition to specifying what tasks it should carry out. Nearly 10 million fatalities globally in 2020 were caused by cancer, making it one of the major causes of mortality. Age-related increases in the risk of some malignancies are probably the main cause of the sharp rise in cancer incidence. Cancerous tumors have the ability to invade and spread to neighboring tissues, as well as reach far into the body to produce new tumors.
Procedure of Cancer
There are different treatment methods a cancer can be treated as:- Primary Treatment
- Adjuvant Treatment
- Palliative Treatment
A multidisciplinary approach is usually used to cancer therapy, which can differ based on the patient's unique circumstances, the kind and stage of the disease, and other considerations. Early detection and treatment of cancer cases reduces its mortality. Early detection consists of two parts: screening and early diagnosis.
