Historically, Gross National Product (GNP) has been thought of as a key indicator in measuring the development level of a nation.

Chemotherapy is the common treatment used to handle cancer cases. Since the drugs used in chemotherapy act on human body by damaging high proliferating cells, normal cell for instance bone marrow, hair follicles and gastrointestinal mucosa which undergoes high rates of cell division are most susceptible. It also produces common side effects like ne
