Cancer: It occurs due to mutations in genes that regulate cell growth. The mutations cause the cells to divide and multiply in an uncontrolled manner, leading to tumour formation. Tumours could be benign/non-cancerous or malignant/cancerous. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is the body’s disease-fighting system. It includes lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, and thymus. Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, weight loss, and fatigue. 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 with symptoms such as protein in the urine, high cholesterol levels, low blood protein levels, high triglyceride levels, and swelling.
