The work is conducted by Miss Nitisha Deka, a Student of B.Pharm under my guidance. Cancer remains one of the most major diseases in present time. Though several developments have been made for developing proper cure for cancer still we have not succeeded in reducing the number of cancer related deaths. Cancer is still threatening to the human race so proper diagnosis is needed. Stem cells due to its properties can be a potential approach used for treatment of cancer and have a more permanent cure. Hence the work is a review of the basic concept of cancer and its treatment with stem cells.
