Abstract

There are many kinds of cancer, but all cancer start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the body. The benefits of screening in breast cancer are controversial. Cancer is often treated with some combination of radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Pain and symptom management are an important part of care. Palliative care is particularly important in people with advanced disease. Many cancers can be prevented by not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, not drinking too much alcohol, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, vaccination against certain infectious diseases, not eating too much processed and red meat, and avoiding too much sunlight exposure. Early detection through screening is useful for cervical and colorectal cancer. Prior the data collection, the investigator was establish rapport and keeping in mind the subject's readiness to support the purpose, the data were completed in one session or more than one session. Several studies have suggested that gender differences in caregivers ’outcomes exist because compared with male caregivers; female caregivers face higher levels of care giving stressors, have fewer social resources, and report lower levels of psychological and physical health.
