Abstract

The sole purpose of life in today's world, as seen by a common man, is to run in a meaningless race for attainment of a luxurious life and ample amount of money. As a result, he faces problems in maintaining and examining his health conditions on a regular basis leading to an outbreak of several diseases which slowly magnifies into a state which is beyond any chances of reversal. One such deadly disease which enormously endangers life if gone unnoticed at the right time is cancer. Cancer is caused due to abnormal cell growth which rapidly spreads to neighboring regions depending on the intensity. It is found to occur in several areas such as, bone, brain, skin, breast, lung, etc. Foot cancer too has been noted as a serious and painful tumour. Without timely diagnosis, it leads into a serious condition. In this paper, we describe the different regions of the foot, its evolution and types in the former half and the diseases that affect the foot with a small introduction to foot cancer in the latter half.
