If you have cancer in your penis would it need to be removed?
If a person has a cancerous tumor in their penis, the tumor might have to be removed. Another option is chemotherapy, that would attempt to kill the cancer cells and stop them from reproducing.
How is adrenal virilism treated if a cancerous tumor is causing the disorder?
Treatment can be a combination of surgery, medications used to kill cancer cells (chemotherapy ), and x rays or other high energy rays used to kill cancer cells (radiation therapy)
What are the 2 ways doctors keep cancer cells from spreading?
By either preforming surgery to remove the cancerous cells or by radiating the tumor to kill off the cancerous cells. A patient may also undergo chemotherapy to fight off the disease.
Is brain cancer and brain tumor or same?
No, but a brain tumor is cancerous, just not quite the same. I hope you don't mind, but I have a story to tell you. My mom had a brain tumor, it was the size of an orange. I don't remember it because I was maybe 4. The operation to remove it took maybe 4 hours, and she is fine now, but has lost a little bit of memory, like math and science. Anyways, a brain tumor is abnormal development of tissue that squishes your brain and can kill you easily. Brain cancer is when cells in your brain begin to grow out of control because those cells have DNA damage and when they make another through asexual reproduction, the new cell has DNA damage. The roundup: My mom had a brain tumor when I was around four; A brain tumor and brain cancer are both cancerous but different because a brain tumor is excessive growth of tissue; brain cancer is when a damaged cell in your brain reproduces asexually and keeps reproducing until there are too many damaged brain cells. Hope I helped! :)
How does small interfearing RNA kill cancer cells?
Small interfering RNA molecules can kill cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of oncogenes which give the cancer cells their cancerous properties.
Can radiation kill pancreatic cancer?
When ionising radiation interacts with living cells is usually kills these cells. Thus yes, radiation can kill pancreatic cells that are cancerous. However the radiation will also destroy healthy cells (and destroy the pancreas) so the amount of radiation given has to be low and well targeted. This is difficult to achieve and if any cancerous cells remain alive they will regrow the cancer.
Can you kill yourself if you inject yourself with animsal DNA?
well it may develop into cancer if other DNA is mixed into your body's cell. but not inject anyway.
Do stem cells cure a cancerous growth?
No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
Can cancer patients eat fresh or dried mushrooms?
Cancer patients can eat mushrooms. Studies have shown that some types of mushrooms can even kill cancerous cells in the body.
What makes the tumor cells replicate continuously?
Tumor/Cancer cells replicate uncontrollably because a mutation in their DNA prevents them from initiating Apoptosis, which would kill a damaged or old cell.
Why is a combination of methods typically used to treat cancer that has spread beyond the original tumor?
Not sure what you mean by a coombination of methods.. but if you are asking what are options for cancer that has spread to somewhere else OTHER than just in the tumor... Then.. for breast cancer... step 1 is to remove the tumor (or in some cases shrink it before removal). Tumor is then sent to pathology to determine if the margins are clear... meaning has the cancer spread beyond the tumor. Then options are... radiation to kill any remaining cells if the cancer has not spread. If the cancer has spread then Chemo is generally used. Of course depending on the size and number of tumors there is also masectomy. Depending on the type of cancer, history in family, age, etc.. there is also then medication that can be taken for 5 years after.
What type of cancer treatment uses X-rays to kill destroy or shrink cancer cells?
The type of cancer treatment that uses X-rays to kill, destroy, or shrink cancer cells is called radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy. In radiation therapy, high-energy X-rays are directed at the cancerous tumor or affected area to damage the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Radiation therapy can be delivered externally or internally: External beam radiation therapy (EBRT): This involves directing radiation from outside the body toward the tumor. It is a non-invasive procedure and is one of the most common forms of radiation therapy. Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy): In this approach, radioactive material is placed directly inside or near the tumor site. This allows for a higher dose of radiation to be delivered to the cancerous cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Radiation therapy can be used as a primary treatment for cancer, as part of a multimodal treatment approach (such as in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy), or to alleviate symptoms in advanced or metastatic cancer. The goal of radiation therapy is to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment planning is highly individualized, taking into account factors such as the type and stage of cancer, the location and size of the tumor, and the overall health of the patient.
