Cancer is the most important problem in the field of medicine and is one of the 10 leading causes of death in the world and is a malignant disease that can cause death in sufferers because cancer cells damage other cells. Cancer cells are normal cells that have mutations / genetic changes and grow without coordination with other body cells.
Under normal circumstances, cells will only divide if there is a replacement of cells that have died and are damaged. Instead, cancer cells will continue to divide even though the body does not need it, so there will be a buildup of new cells called malignant tumors. The buildup of cells is urgent and damages normal tissue, thus disturbing the organ they occupy. Cancer can occur in various tissues in various organs in every body, from the feet to the head. If cancer occurs on the surface of the body, it will be easily identified and treated. But if it occurs in the body, the cancer will be difficult to know and sometimes has no symptoms.
