CANCER
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide: it accounted for 7.4 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2004. Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 12 million deaths in 2030. Reasons: 1.Physical carcinogens, such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation 2.Chemical carcinogens, such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, aflatoxin (a food contaminant) and arsenic (a drinking water contaminant) 3.Biological carcinogens, such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria or parasites.
Top 5 cancers out of 150 varieties
MEN WOMEN
Prostate 28% Breast 30%
Lung 17% Lung 13%
Colorectal 12% Colorectal 12%
Bladder 7% Uterus 6%
Non Hodgkin lymphoma 4% Ovary 4%
Chemotherapy, irradiation and surgical treatment are the measures employed in modern medicine in handling of cancer. No cure for cancer is the dictum at present. But with traditional medicines, cancer is curable to greater extent only in the beginning stage. Siddha offers Chithiramoola guligai, Serankottai Nei, Rasaganthi Mezhugu, Idivallathy Mezhugu, Nanthi Mezhugu, and Van Mezhugu to check the proliferation of immature and poorly differentiated cells.
