Answer in Brief

Solution

Cancer: Cancer is a non-infectious, deadly disease that results in the uncontrolled growth of the tumour cells or cancer cells. About 20% of the world's total population suffers from cancer. As technology develops, there are modern ways to diagnose and treat cancer in an efficient way.

Treatments:

  • Radiation therapy uses high-intensity radiations to kill cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy uses chemical drugs.
  • Immunotherapy activates the body's immune system to fight against cancer cells.
  • Stem cell treatment.

Diagnostics:

  • Biopsy where a small tissue is taken and tested.
  • Endoscopy where a thin camera is inserted into the body organs.
  • Blood tests.
  • Sputum and bronchial washing analysis use the sputum or bronchial sections to be analyzed.
