        abstract = {Every year, cancer exacts a devastating toll, claiming millions of lives globally. In medical research, numerous challenges persist, underscoring the imperative for ongoing efforts to enhance cancer therapy. This comprehensive review article delves (research) into the multifaceted landscape of genetic and environmental risk factors influencing cancer. Familial and hereditary factors, along with lifestyle-related i e physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption and ecological elements, constitute the spectrum of known risk factors associated with cancer.    Concurrently, the field witnesses a dynamic evolution in anticancer drug development, characterized by a focus on targeted therapies, immunotherapies and precision medicine. Despite the progress, formidable challenges endure, prominently featuring drug resistance and the pressing need for more efficacious treatments. Genetic predispositions contribute significantly to cancer susceptibility, accentuating the critical need for personalized screening and prevention strategies. The awareness of these influential factors empowers proactive measures in risk reduction and the promotion of overall health.
This review underscores the etiology, categorization of cancer types and the pharmaceutical agents currently prevalent in the market for its treatment.
