A form of treatment in which drugs destroy cancer cells is called?
The form of treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells is called chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which include cancer cells. It can be administered orally or intravenously, and it may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
How does cancer treatment affect healthy cells?
Cancer treatment affects healthy cells by killing them , because the keno therapy has radiation and it kills your cells.
Radiation treatment kills cancer cells by?
by killing cancer cells with high-energy waves.
A scientist is trying to discover a new treatment to stop cancer cells from dividing In the cancer cells which of these processes will stop if the treatment is successful?
Genetic recombination
Radiation most likely destroys cancer cells by inducing a process called?
Radiation therapy primarily destroys cancer cells through a process called apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. When cancer cells are exposed to high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, it damages the DNA within the cells. This damage can lead to the activation of signaling pathways that trigger apoptosis, causing the cancer cells to die. Radiation therapy is designed to target and kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues. By inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, radiation therapy aims to shrink tumors and reduce the spread of cancer throughout the body.
What treatment can help stop cancer cells from dividing?
Chemo
Is chemotherapy a virus?
No, it is a form of cancer treatment which uses toxic chemicals to kill cancer cells.
Been called back after treatment for abnormal cell results on a cervical smear Doctor says he is unsure of where cells have come from patient has had breast cancer treatment what does this mean?
Abnormal cells from other organs don't usually present themselves in a PAP test. But they can. If patient has abnormal cells on PAP test and has history of breast cancer, a pathologist can determine if cells are cervical cells or breast cells. If breast cancer has migrated to cervix, this means the staging of breast cancer would increase. Most likely this isn't the case, and the abnormal cells are cervical related.
What is radiation treatments?
Radiation treatment, or radiation therapy is a form of cancer treatment. It uses high doses of intense energy to kill the cancer cells.
What happens when cell do not respond to the signals that normally regulate their growth?
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. such cells called cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues
Cancer cells from masses of cells called?
tumors!
Why is it important for the doctors to remove all the cells?
I assume you are referring to cancer treatment - It is important as any cells that are left could form a new colony of cancer cells. This would mean the cancer would return
