Historical Review of Carcinoma wsr to Aetiology
Keywords:
Cancer, Cancer Survivor, Radiation, Tumour and MalignantAbstract
No one would choose to be diagnosed with cancer. It is perhaps the most dreaded disease of mankind. Regardless of the stage of disease, each individual is a cancer survivor. From the moment of diagnosis and for the rest of his life, that person is engaged in the pursuit of life. Treatment of cancer ranges from the use of powerful chemicals, bursts of radiation to complete removal of tumour and surrounding tissue. Each treatment type brings a certain level of risk, pain and disability to the patient, but malignant cells when left untreated inevitably choke off vital organs and circulation. So in this article an attempt is made to highlight aetiology of Ca. So that we can aware of its cause and help in prevention of carcinoma.
