What else can I help you with?
What is the treatment of neoplastic disease by using x-rays or gamma rays to deter the proliferation of malignant cells is known as what?
radiation therapy
What is radiotherapy?
Radiotherapy is the therapeutic use of ionizing radiation, used almost exclusively for the treatment of malignant disease.
Why use radiation for hashimolos?
Radiation would not be used as treatment for Hashimoto's disease. However, Hashimoto's disease can be a consequence of exposure to radiation from environmental sources or cancer treatment.
Is breast cancer a neoplastic disease?
No
A doctor specializing in treatment of disease using high energy radiation?
radiation oncologist
What is the name for a neoplastic intraocular disease found primarily in children?
retinoblastoma
What external sources can cause non-Hodgkin's lymphomas?
People exposed to certain pesticides and ionizing radiation have a higher than average chance of developing this disease.
Is there a such thing as radiology?
Yes. It is the diagnosis and/or treatment of disease using radiation or radioactive materials.
What risk is associated with radiation and chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's disease?
The development of a second type of cancer is the most serious risk from radiation and chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's disease. In particular, there is a risk of developing leukemia, breast cancer, bone cancer
what is radiology?
The science dealing with X-rays and other high-energy radiation, especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
What is an example of allopathic treatment for Hodgkin's disease?
An example of allopathic treatment for Hodgkin's disease is chemotherapy, which involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This treatment may be used alone or in combination with other therapies such as radiation therapy or stem cell transplantation.
What is the result of large doses of ionizing radiation that causes good and bad effect to plants and animals?
Ionizing radiation is any kind of radiation with enough energy (enough energy = wavelength is sufficiently short) to release a valence electron from a molecule. For instance, gamma rays emitted by the sun are highly energetic EM waves that are considered to be ionizing. A molecule that has had one of its valence electrons stripped is in a higher energetic state called a radical. When a biological entity encounters ionizing radiation, it forms radical molecules. These are often in the singlet and triplet excited states. The triplet excited state is highly reactive, and wreaks havoc on biological systems by reacting and altering the structure of DNA, proteins, and other biomolecules. Ionizing radiation typically does not have any "good" effects on plants or animals.
