Cancer is a life threatening health condition that occurs due to accumulated damage to body cells or genes. Such damage to the cells happens because of the exposure to any cancer-causing substance.

The substances that can lead to cancer are termed as carcinogens. The carcinogens are chemical substances like some molecules found in tobacco smoke, environmental factors, genetics, etc.

Due to carcinogens, normal body cells may start growing abnormally. When the cells grow in large numbers, it leads to the formation of a lump or tumour. Such tumours can develop into cancer if not treated on time.

Thousands of patients are diagnosed with cancer in India every year. Thanks to the advancement in technology, there has been a great improvement in cancer treatment, of late.

Shalby Hospitals, the best cancer hospital in Jaipur, has state-of-art equipment and top of the class facilities to treat cancer patients with effective pain management and intensive care.
