Cancer is a deadly disease.
Cancer often takes the lives of the individuals that it infects.
The disease can be stopped if it is caught in time.
Catching the disease in time to reverse it involves a person being screened for cancer yearly.
Cancer occurs when the body begins producing abnormal cells that do not die.
Normally cells in the body die when they are unhealthy or old; however, all cancer cells are abnormal and do not die.
The cells continue to reproduce and often form tumors.
Therapy involves the treatment of an illness.
Cancer therapy involves the treatment of cancer.
Therapy often involves finding and destroying all cancer cells and tumors.
And it often involves stopping cancer from spreading throughout the body, travel through lymph nodes and blood to other areas of the body.
Once the cells reach another area of the body they begin infecting that area of the body.
It works to stop the invasion of other parts of the body by the disease.
There is more than one type of therapy for cancer patients.
Alternative therapy is a kind of therapy that works by increasing the body's natural immune system and getting rid of unhealthy poisons in the body through detoxification.
Non alternative therapies include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, targeted therapy and biological therapy.
There are also other types of therapies used to treat cancer.
Chemotherapy is the most common type of therapy used for treating this disease.
A patient that does not have heart disease or diabetes is a good candidate for chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy involves giving a patient drugs that seek out the cancer cells and kill them.
Often a patient will get rid of all the cancer cells in his body through chemotherapy.
