Abstract

Cancer is a large family of diseases caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. Cancer has become a topic of great scientific interest since its awareness to the medical world, because of its obscure etiological factors. Cancer is known as “Putru” in Siddha system which literally means “Termite mound” because of its proliferative nature. In India, tumors (neoplasms) are the third cause of mortality. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in the women worldwide and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in developing countries.

Keywords: Anti-cancer, HeLa cell line, cervical cancer, Rasaparpam.
