Abstract

In the developing world, cancer is also increasing at an exponential rate. Alone in the year 2020 it is responsible for nearly 20 million deaths. Over the time, various forms of cancer have been brought to light. Currently, there are 100 types of cancer which affect the human race [1]. Various reasons are responsible for cancer but some major cancer-causing agents are tobacco responsible for 20% overall cancer death, other agents include diet, alcohol, environmental pollution, exposure to radiation etc. [2]. Basically, for development of cancer various genetically changes occurred for cancer. Nearly 5-10 percent of cancer is caused by inherited genetic changes [3]. Cancer is already a concerning problem due to its growth and death rate every year but there are two main problem which are firstly, treatment of cancer and secondly, diagnosis of cancer at beginning stage to prevent its further growth. Both of these issues are currently being studied and dedicated efforts are being made to develop newer treatment regime for cancer.
