Cancer: It occurs due to mutations in genes that regulate cell growth. The mutations cause the cells to divide and multiply in an uncontrolled manner leading to the formation of tumours. The most common cancer treatment methods are surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation, immunotherapy and targeted drug therapy.

Nephrotic syndrome: It is a kidney disorder in which the body excretes too much protein in the urine. Symptoms include foamy urine, weight gain, and swelling around the eyes and in the ankles and feet.
