Abstract

There are many causes of cancers. There are many areas which are working for precise cancer treatments. It is a very complex disease and difficult to cure. There are different categories of cancers, diagnosed and located in different organs of the body sub-tissues and originating from different cell types. Cancer is categorized based on their molecular arrangements. In addition to this, they look different based on the location and stage of the cancer. Instead of complication and appearance, almost all types of cancer are treated with the same generic therapies. The objective is to reduce the effect of cancer, and to cure, it needs to be identified and treated at an early stage. There are four elements of cancer diagnosed at an early stage: physical exam, laboratory tests, imaging tests, biopsy tests, etc. If cancer is diagnosed at an early stage and proper screening is done, then only the death ratio can be reduced. I have tried to cover the positive impact of PCM (Precision Cancer Medicine) to improve the cancer care with less harm to healthy tissue.
