Abstract

ABSTRACT Cancer is the abnormal cell growth which has an ability to invade and eventually spread to other parts of the body. The term cancer was given by a Greek Physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC). In the earlier days Non- Ulcer forming and ulcer forming tumors were called carcinoma and carcinos. Cells that grow abnormally cause cancer. Many people die due to cancer. It is the second leading disease in United States that cause death. Women are mostly affected by cancer. In the world one half of men suffer from cancer but one third of women suffer from cancer. Hence women are considered as the victims of cancer.
