Best Hospital for Cancer - Oncology Treatment In Chennai| Dr.KMH

Cancer happens when there is an abnormal change to the body cells.

Our human body is a combination of different types of cells. Each cell produces a signal instructing how much and often a cell should be divided ensuring that sufficient cells are produced to keep the body healthy. Abnormality to the cell occurs when right signal has not been sent, causing it to divide and multiply too much. Tumours are either benign or malignant. Benign tumours are not cancerous and neither do they spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumours conversely have the ability to grow and spread to other parts of the body.

Today, millions of people diagnosed with cancer survive and continue to lead active and productive life. Every person is different and our new treatments are changing the outlook of cancer patient. Some patients can be cured and often patients live longer, more good complete than ever before.
