Cancer is the second most dreaded killer after coronary heart disease in the world today.
Varying factors are believed to be responsible for the aetiology of cancers. These include food, light, tobacco, contraceptive pills and many other things like viruses, bacteria, etc., but most of these have not yet been confirmed

Even though there is no explicit mention of cancers in Ayurvedic texts, the description of Granthi and Arbuda are very similar to that of the malignant tumours. The prognosis of these tumours is described to be dependent on the site of the tumour and associated signs and symptoms with it. This fact to is very much in coherence with Ayurvedic concepts.
