How does radiation treat colorectal cancer?
where the cancer is located in hard to reach areas, radiation may be used to shrink the cancer growth or tumor. Radiation stops the cancer cells from dividing.
Why are radioactive isotopes that emit gamma rays useful for treating some forms of cancer?
Radioactivity is indeed used to treat some types of cancer. Electron beams are used for surface cancers due to their lower energy. Proton beams and neutron beams are used to treat other hard to reach cancers. Carbon ion radiation is also sometimes used.
Which characteristic of body cells require large amounts of energy?
Cellular Respiration. Your cells need energy in the form of glucose to produce ATP (usable energy)
HeLa cells have been used in research to?
HeLa cells have been used in research to study the nature and progression of cancer
What are cells use for?
Stem cells are used for fighting off deadly diseases, and stem cells can help cell growth and reproduction.
Can natural killer cells be used against cancer?
natural killer cell are responsible against the abnormal growth of body cells means cancer if we inject these cells in high quantity in a infected person than there is chance of reducing abnormal growth of the affected cells
How do drugs used to treat cancer affect cell growth?
Most drugs used to treat cancer kill actively growing/replicating cells.

What is OGF therapy?

What is A431 cells?
A431 cells are model cell lines used in research for biomedical studies. They are used for studying the cycles and signaling pathways in cancer cells due to their retaining a lot of an EGFR, or Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor.
Which radioactive nuclide is used to treat cancer?

What is PC3 cells?
What ARE PC3 cells? PC3 cells are human prostate cancer cells, which are used for cancer research.
Significance of tissue culture?
Tissue culture is the growth of tissues in suitable environment. They are used widely in study of maturation and growth of animal cells and plants, in cancer research, in cloning experiments etc.
Why does your hair fall out after chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is used to fight the cancer cells, but in the process it can also be harmful to other cells in your body that these drugs mistake for cancer cells.

Fortunately, the cells that produce your hair ca eventually go back to normal and your hair growth will resume again.
