History
Cancer has become such a disease, whose patients are increasing day by day. Its treatment is very expensive. When one becomes poor, his chances of survival are very less. As we all know cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world due to which many times its symptoms go undetected. And by the time this disease is discovered, it is too late. If this disease happens to the rich, then they spend a lot of money and get treatment. My question is, why is cancer a disease? Talking about three-four decades ago, the number of cancer patients was not so much.
Significance, and Importance
Cancer slowly destroys a healthy body. There are different stages of cancer, through which doctors ensure the treatment of cancer patients.

On the occasion of World Cancer Day, various campaigns to prevent cancer were run by various government and non-government organizations.
