Cancers like breast cancer, blood cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer etc. play a vital role in the mortality rate of humans. According to WHO, due to cancer, worldwide 9.6 million people were died in the year 2018 and it is expected to affect 22 million by 2030. American Cancer Society survey of 2015 reports that, breast cancer ranks second in the death of women. Despite treatments like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immune therapy, targeted therapy, have reduced the risks of lower lifespan, number of deaths in the world population are always on the rise due to serious side effects and multidrug resisting cancer cells .
