SHOULD WE RENAME CANCER AS "CHRONIC PROLIFERATIVE DISEASE"

It was 14 Dec 2019, evening 1350 flight from Delhi to Indore. I was excited to visit my native place for cancer awareness campaign.

"If ignorance is bliss then, avoidance of unpleasant truth is human nature".  And jokingly, I exclaimed...."CAN WE CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS DISEASE - FROM CANCER TO ...MAY BE CHRONIC PROLIFERATIVE DISEASE".

I made my mind to frequently visit these remote places.
