This decade is overwhelmed by the onslaught of the dormant villain ‘cancer’ which resides in human bodies leading to many tragedies. The main issue with the disease cancer is the symptoms are not much prominent and by the time it is detected it is often too late. Victims go through agonizing treatment which is very expensive often not resulting in positive outcomes.
Though people are aware of the causes and are trying to make lifestyle changes and incorporating healthy diet in their life, still the environment has become extremely toxic with uncontrolled pollution and modern amenities which has become indispensable in everyday life. So most doctors advice regular screening tests which should be taken regularly every year by all men above 40 years and women above 25 years.
