Abstract

Cancer is a life threatening disease in which the body cells of a particular part of the body grow uncontrollably and if remain untreatable, starts spreading to the other parts of the body. It can start anywhere in the body and is formed up of trillions of cells. In normal division the body cells grow and multiply to form new cells for further growth and when the cells become old they get degenerated and the new cells replace their place. But when the old degenerated cells do not vanish properly they remain in the site and start accumulating then they convert into tumors that may be benign or cancerous. The cancerous one invades into other cells and metastasis occurs with which they start spreading in the whole body. The benign growths do not get invaded and they don’t spread. Throughout the years for this cancerous growth there is not such evident cure but now there is a drug named Dostarlimab which comes with this efficacy.
