When your body's cells replicate, they go through 3 phases. The first being the growth phase. The second being synthesis or replication of the DNA. The third being the phase where it checks over the replicated DNA to check for any errors (or spell check kind of). Cancer is when those body cells that are being replicated, are replicating way too fast for them to go through the 3rd phase and get checked for errors. Usually, when they are replicating this fast, there is some sort of mutation that is causing them to replicate this quickly.
When these cells skip the spell check, they have a mutation and this mutation causes the mutated DNA to take over all of the normal DNA. If the cancer is caught early enough, then there are technologies that can get rid of the small amount of mutated DNA but if noticed too late, the cancer cells have already taken over that persons body, and it would take some extensive treatment to even attempt to get rid of all the cancer cells..
Hopefully this helped answer your question. :)
B cells play a role in the immune response against cancer by producing antibodies that can help target cancer cells for destruction by other immune cells. They do not directly destroy cancer cells themselves, but help to coordinate the immune system's response against cancer.
Cancer; it uses radioactivity to destroy the cancerous cells.
Chemotherapy
One use of gamma rays is in cancer treatment, where they can be directed at cancer cells to destroy them.
The form of treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells is called chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which include cancer cells. It can be administered orally or intravenously, and it may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
Cancer cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. Although cancer cells can be quite common in a person they are only malignant when the other cells (particularly natural killer cells) fail to recognize and/or destroy them.
Virotherapy is a type of treatment that uses viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The viruses are modified to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cells to burst, ultimately leading to the death of the cancer cells.
Radiations (alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons) emitted by radioisotopes can destroy cancer cells.
this is used destroy cancer cells and leavethe good one unharmed
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.
Chemotherapy refers to the use of cytotoxic drugs in cancer treatment.'Chemo' means medicine or 'drug''therapy' means 'treatment'. Chemotherapeutic agents or drugs are 'magic bullets' that destroy the fast-dividing cancer cells. However these drugs are unable to differentiate between the normal cells and the cancer cells and they destroy the former too, in their war against cancer. This leads to certain side effects.
