The most common cancer treatment methods are surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation, immunotherapy and targeted drug therapy.
Nephrotic syndrome: It is a kidney disorder in which the body excretes too much protein in the urine. Symptoms include foamy urine, weight gain, and swelling around the eyes and in the ankles and feet.
