Dr. Aastha deliberately gave the answer to this that “Occurrence of cancer depends upon different factors in people of different age groups; children might be caught in cancer because of some genetic reasons, etc. and sometimes, it may be caused due to lifestyle, stress, negligence of a long standing infection, etc so she highly advices that if you feel a doubt you must consult your doctor immediately without any delay.”

She also said, “Cancer is identified very commonly in young people nowadays, both men and women. Therefore, with the time the technology has also become so advanced to treat the cancer properly and completely. Also, due to the cancer therapies and treatment, the reproductive organs of the cancer patients get damaged which results in the failure in becoming parents after the treatment.
