        abstract = {Cancer is a heterogeneous and genetically programmed disease that leads to uncontrolled growth of tissue proliferation and potential metastasis. Cancer is a devastating disease, and statistics tell us that cancer affects several individuals every year. Cancer biology in therapeutic aspects has evolved and researchers have created an array of therapies as a result. Management of neoplasm has included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, which are the most predominant forms of treatment and are aimed at local and systemic disease. Tumor resection is aimed at tumor tissue removal, chemotherapy and radiation are used for all fast-dividing tissue including cancer cells.In recent years, a paradigm shift in the management of cancer has taken place with the introduction of modern therapies with greater specificity and customization. For example, in immunotherapy cancer is treated by making immune cells detect and target cancer cells while targeted therapy focuses on the genetic changes that cause the cancer. Hormones are an important component in the treatment of some cancers, especially breast cancer and prostate cancer. Stem cell transplants are also a possibility for people with blood cancers to replace the diseased bone marrow. Tumor molecular and genetic patterns are embedded within precision medicine to offer manifold possibilities for treatments that can be tailor-designed.},
