Cancer is the major killer among the major causes of death in the world. this dreadful condition has attracted the minds of physicians & surgeons from the very early times. it will be fascinating to note that sushruta (father of surgery) had mentioned about the cancer (arbuda). Ayurvedic texts mentioned about arbuda, which is considered as an equivalent of cancer. Acharya charaka described arbuda in the chapter on shopha i.e. Inflammatory & non-inflammatory swellings (cha.su.18.; cha.chi.12.). Acharya sushruta provided more information on arbuda, granthi, apachi, gandamala etc. Which is cancer related conditions. cancer is often compared to arbuda of ayurvedic classics, many other conditions are found to fall under different tumours. It is very important to do nidanpanchakatmaka study on ayurvedic approach of cancer.
