Is Cancer Life Threatening

Human bodies are constantly producing new cells to replace older or damaged cells. It’s a natural process of growth, division, and death. Our immune systems are usually able to handle the abnormal cells we produce from time to time. Cancer develops when abnormal cells don’t die off but continue to reproduce and evade the immune system response. When detected and treated early, cancer doesn’t necessarily cause life threatening complications. Cancer becomes life threatening when it affects major organs and their ability to function.

Cancer can kill when it invades essential organs, like your liver, lungs, or brain, and stops them from functioning properly. As cancer spreads throughout the body, it becomes more difficult to control. Some types of cancer tend to spread slowly. Other types spread more aggressively.

However, not all types and stages of cancers are life threatening. Fortunately, the advanced medical science has progressed to be able to cure cancer or stop its growth, if one takes the treatment at the right time. The key is to recognize the symptoms and approach the healthcare providers to be able to fight with it in time.

Lets learn how cancer progresses, how cancer kills, and what treatments can slow its progress from Dr Raj Nagarkar in this webinar.
