ABSTRACT
Cancer is a genetic disease caused by proliferation and multiplication of tumor cells in the body. Cancer occurs due to uncontrolled growth and development of tumor cells in the body. There are more than 100 different types of cancers categorized on the basis of the affected tissue or organ of the human body. Cancers can be cured by means of both conventional tonic approaches, i.e., surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and nonconventional or complementary therapeutic methods, including hormone therapy, immunotherapy, nano therapy etc. These well-established therapeutic interventions specifically target the tumors and either inhibit or slow down the growth rate of cells, but incompetent to completely provide protection and largely distress the normal cells, tissues, and organs.
