Five Ways To Fight Cancer Investing In Cancer Care Is One Of Them- HDFC Life

November 05, 2018
One of the most common ailments we hear about in today's world is Cancer. Cancer is the battle with self; no matter how hard you try, the fight is never easy. It is one such disease which most of the times is detected at the later stages, and not to forget the costly and painful treatments. Just imagine the horror - once cancer is detected, a person automatically becomes fear- stricken thinking about the pain that he has to go through, on the top of it the care required during and after the treatment and the cost of all it. Scary, isn't it? Just the idea of cancer scares us so bad, it should be pondered over, how frightening it really is!

Cells in the human body divide and grow naturally- that is how we age, grow up and grow old, but some cells choose not to follow the path assigned and divide in an uncontrollable manner. Cancer is deadly and what makes it more deadly is its resistance against drugs and ability to survive and withstand and reoccur overtime. It can occur in any part of body in any form. Although there are numerous ways to fight cancer but the key reason it has been a success so far is investment of time and money.The patients and their families are bound to invest their time to for the treatment and care of the patient, but not everyone can invest for the huge medication and hospital bills.

At present we have numerous therapies and treatments for cancer and some of the widely and commonly used ones are:

Chemotherapy -

One of the most widely accepted and practiced ways to fight cancer. In order to stop them it kills the dividing cancer cells, hence making them ineffective to grow.

Radiation Therapy-

It targets the malignant cancer cells

Immunotherapy-

There are different immunotherapies available depending of the kind of cancer occurred. This takes place when a person suffering from cancer is given an antibiotic dose to boost the immune system and let it do its work.

Surgery -

The surgeon removes the cancer affected part from the patient's body
