Ayurvedic Treatment of Cancer – Symptoms & Causes

Introduction

This problem arises due to abnormal growth of cells. This happens when old cells do not die. This occurs when the body’s ability to kill old cells fails and keeps on producing new cells that are abnormal. These cells may form a mass of tissue called tumor, but there are tumors that do not lead to cancer such as leukemia.

Cancer may occur in any part of the body, but the most common of all is breast cancer in women and in men, prostate cancer is one of the major cancers.
