Cancer cells are the same as the normal cells of a human being or in fact, it can be said that they are the modified mutant forms of human cells. The healthy cells get mutated by getting exposed to carcinogenic thins, and harmful irradiations.

The anti-cancer agents kill both normal cells and cancer cells. The exploiting part is that cancer cells form again at a faster rate than normal cells.
