Cancer is no doubt the biggest threat to our health, but thanks to the advances in medical science, the cure rate has been improving. New developments are being seen not only in the diagnosis but also in the treatment of cancer, with innovative medication and equipment being increasingly used. The key therefore to receiving the prompt and quality treatment is to have adequate financial support.
