When some persons hear the word ’Cancer’, they are often left stricken with the feeling of fear, far more than the fear evoked by other illnesses such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes which can have agonizing effects on the body. Every day, our bodies naturally kill cancer cells but sometimes one cell escapes the body’s natural defense system and this ‘rogue’ cell continues to multiply with no regard to the space around them. This is how malignant tumors are formed. In previous years, there have been significant improvements in cancer detection, cancer therapy and palliative care.
