Abstract

Cancer is termed as a group of diseases and caused due to several genetic and environmental factors. Personal and social environments mostly decide the fate of cancer development in the community. With the advancement in cancer research, new therapeutic drugs and instruments have been developed to treat and cure cancer at an early stage of its development. However, less priority was given on the personal and social issues. Thus, the present review discusses the role of personal and social issues involved in the development of cancer.
