Problems/Objectives: Cancer is a broad term. It describes the disease that results when cellular changes
cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Some types of cancer cause rapid cell growth, while
others cause cells to grow and divide at a slower rate.

Results /Findings : Chemotherapy aims to kill cancerous cells with medications that target rapidly
dividing cells. The drugs can also help shrink tumors, but the side effects can be severe. Radiation
therapy uses high-dose radiation to kill cancerous cells. Also, a doctor may recommend using radiation
to shrink a tumor before surgery or reduce tumor-related symptoms.

Your own Opinion/comment: Cancer can lead us to death and some way to avoid cancer is to protect
our health. Don’t use too much tabacco and be careful of what you are eating. Eat healthy foods.
