Cancer is a lethal disease and the whole world is affected by this. Cancer is the second most dangerous and death-leading disease all over the world. In the normal human body, cells can grow and after some time a cell leads to death and another cell grows, by this procedure, particular cells and all types of cells remain constant but in Cancer disease, abnormal cells develop and divide uncontrollably and destroy the normal body cells and tissues mainly mutation is responsible for cancer. This research paper is trying to help in understanding all the important points about cancer disease. Cancer is the elementary unit of tumors, it leads to uncontrolled division of cells. Chronological growth of mutation in oncogenesis is responsible for the origin of cancer. Unbounded division of cells gives birth to the tumor, which is of two types, benign tumor and another is a malignant tumor which is also known as cancer. There are many types of tumor antigens that are present in the human body and sometimes react against these antigens in the form of destroying tumors, NK cell activity, and many other ways. This lethal sickness is of many types like breast cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, kidney, and renal pelvis cancer, thyroid cancer, melanoma of the skin, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer. In all among Cancer pancreatic cancer is difficult to recognize and diagnose that's why it is rapidly killing cancer. The death rate is higher among men than women. According to IARC in the year 2020, the graph of death by cancer increases, a total of 19.3 million cases appear and 10 million had to lose their lives. As reported by the National Cancer Institute there are some methods that are helping in the healing of carcinoma disease:- Hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplantation, etc. This research paper outlines the current research and development to prevention and cure of cancer and explains all about cancer, and we try to give some little contribution to get rid of this dangerous disease.
