Concept introduction:
Cancer cells are the same as the normal cells of a human being; however, they are the modified mutant forms of the cells of the human body. The healthy cells get mutated by getting exposed to carcinogenic thins and harmful irradiations.
The anticancer agents kill both the normal cells and cancer cells, and the exploited part is that cancer cells are again formed at a faster rate than normal cells.
