Abstract
Cancer is the major killer and dreaded disease caused by abnormal proliferation of body cells. These abnormal cells can block circulations, and damage organ functions which may lead to death. The annual incidence of cancer worldwide is estimated at 30,000. While the most common killer among malignancies is lung cancer, breast cancer poses the biggest threat. With the increasing prevalence of cancer, patients are now turning to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to treat the disease.
