Cancer can be characterized as a disorder in which affectedcells suffer from abnormal growth due to the malfunctioning of inherited or acquired DNA. This malfunctioning causes invasion, compromise and destruction of tissues and promotion of neovascularisation for survival of the cancer. Often metastasis is formed, that spreads the tumoural cells throughout the body via the lymphatic system and the bloodstream. Cancer accounts for more than 100 distinct diseases presenting diverse risk factors and epidemiology and is therefore held be responsible for one in eight deaths worldwide.
