What effects does cancer have on a cell cycle of a cancerous cell?
It can give cancer to all the other cells, so it causes more cells to be cancerous. It goes all around the body and the number of the cancer cells will get much more than the first.
Why is cancer a problem for the body?
Cancer is when too many specific cells in the body are produced. It can cause tumors and other hqrmful effects ln the body
What is hyperthermia therapy?
A type of treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells or to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs.
What colony stimulating factors assist with recovering from the cytotoxic effects of cancer chemotherapy?
C. white blood cells
Why exposure to radioactivity is used as a therapy to treat some kinds of cancer?
Radiation has the capacity to kill cells, both cancer cells and normal cells, but cancer cells are less healthy than normal cells, and they are more easily killed, so radiation can kill cancer cells while not killing the patient (although the patient will suffer side effects). Doctors are always looking for what is known as the "magic bullet" which is something that kills only cancer cells but does not harm normal cells; so far we have not found it. If we do invent a magic bullet, than radiation treatments will no longer be used.
What are Radiation sensitizers?
Radiation sensitizers are substances that increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation therapy, making the treatment more effective. They can enhance the damaging effects of radiation on cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells, ultimately improving the overall outcome of radiation therapy for cancer patients.
Are stem cells safe?
Research is still being conducted on stem cells. They\'re mostly safe, but side effects could include rejection, cancer, or death.
How can pills for radiation be used effectively in cancer treatment?
Pills for radiation, also known as radiopharmaceuticals, can be used effectively in cancer treatment by delivering targeted radiation directly to cancer cells. This helps to destroy the cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The pills are typically taken orally and travel through the bloodstream to reach the cancer cells, where they release radiation to kill the cancer cells. This targeted approach can help improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects compared to traditional radiation therapy.
What does chemotherapy use to destroy cancer cells?
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to target and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. These drugs work by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to grow and reproduce, often by damaging their DNA or disrupting critical cellular processes. While chemotherapy is effective against cancer, it can also affect healthy cells that divide quickly, leading to side effects. The treatment regimen is tailored to the specific type of cancer and the individual patient's needs.
How can you get feet cancer?
You can have cancer anywhere there are cells; where there are cells, there is a possibility of a mutation that causes cancer.
What is pre cancer cells?
pre cancer cells are cells with an abnormal appearance suggestive of an increased cancer risk. These cells are not cancerous by themselves alone.
Are there Golgi cells in cancer cells?
yes certain cancers contain golgi cells such as the colon cancer cell and also the breast cancer cells
