When you can no longer get radioactive iodine to kill thyroid cancer what happens?
You can still treat thyroid cancer by using radiotherapy although I do not think its as effective. Alternatively, chemotheraphy could also be used.
Is chemotheraphy related to nuclear energy?
Chemotherapy and nuclear energy are not directly related. Chemotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells, while nuclear energy is a form of power generation that uses controlled nuclear reactions to produce electricity. However, some cancer treatments may use radioactive materials that are produced in nuclear reactors.
Can you work whilist going through chemotherapy?
yes you can work through chemotheraphy as long as the treatment your taking is a nice and easy treatment but if the treatment your having is hard and very strong then you should definetely rest and stop working .
Can you sue the hospital after chemotheraphy side effects?
In general, almost certainly not. If you have been appraised of the risks versus the benifits by your Primary Physician or have some claim that the hospitidal did not properly inform you of the risks envolved... then you might have a claim. I, myself know that chemotherepy has side effects. ?Didn't you know? JCF

How can you benefit from the human genome project?
well this is as vague question as asking "how can you benefit from chemotheraphy" - if you get sick by the particular sickness, it can help you. Human genome sequence knowledge is good for gene therapies and many other things. With this knowledge, it might be possible one day to treat e.g. cystic fibrosis and plenty of other illnesses.
How can chemotheraphy affect your health?
Chemotherapy is radiation entering the body in the attempt to kill the carcinogenic cells. However, in the same attempt to kill the bad cells, it also kills the good cells. Which is why the patient is very ill and undergoes the physical changes that they endure. This is also why some people do not survive for very long after wards. It just wipes them out.
What is nuclear chemotheraphy?
Some radionuclides used in nuclear medicine can emit radiation that kills cancer cells. There are also pharmaceuticals that behave a certain way in the body (like accumulating in the thyroid). By attaching the radionuclides to the pharmaceuticals, we can "spot" treat things like thyroid cancer without giving a big radiation dose to the rest of the body.
What kills cancer cells by reversing the mutations that caused them to be cancer cells?
One approach is targeted therapy, which uses drugs to specifically target and block the activity of proteins or pathways that are driving cancer growth. Another approach is immunotherapy, which harnesses the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, gene editing technologies like CRISPR are being explored to directly target and correct mutations in cancer cells.
