Cancer: It is a genetic change in which our cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). There are more than 100 types of cancer, including blood cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy (by strong antibiotics), radiation and stem cell therapy. To date, there is no cure for cancer.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia: It is a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells and tends to progress slowly over many years. It can occur at any age but is most common in adults around 60-65.

Acute lymphocytic leukaemia: A type of leukaemia (blood cancer) that comes on quickly and is fast-growing. In acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, there are too many lymphoblasts (immature white blood cells) in the blood and bone marrow.

A gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST): It is a type of tumour in the stomach or small intestine. The tumours develop into the specialized cells called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs).
