Cancer is a serious medical condition marked by the presence of tumor cells present in the body. The formation of tumor cells take place when the normal cells grow at an abnormal rate. Moreover, these tumor cells also have the ability to spread to other parts of the body through blood and lymphatic system. In addition, cancer has different stages which are based on the growth pattern of tumor.

Therefore, the treatment of cancer differs depending on the stage of cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are mostly employed in the treatment of early stage cancers and similarly targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs are generally preferred in the treatment of late stage cancers.
