IMPACT OF HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS IN INDIAN WOMEN

Abstract

Cancer is a broad term. It describes the disease that results when cellular changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Some types of cancer cause rapid cell growth, while other cause cells to grow and divide at a slower rate. A cell receives instructions to die in order that the body can replace it with a more moderen cell that functions better. Cancerous cells lack the components that instruct them to prevent dividing and to die.
