Chemotherapy

CHEMOTHERAPY: The treatment of illness or disease by chemicals. The compounds used are known as chemotheraputic agents. PASTEURIZATION: The process of heating milk and other liquids to destroy microorganisms which can cause spoilage or disease. STERILE FILTRATION: The process of filtering heat liable substances like enzymes and some drugs. The filter used can filter out microorganisms e.g. HEPA filter. VACCINATION: A prepration of either killed microoganism; living, weakened microorganism; or inactivated bacterial toxins, when adminstrated to induce development of the immune response and protect the individual against a pathogen or a toxin is called vaccination. RADIATION: The treatment of illness or disease like cancer by radiations lide magnetic radiations is called radiation therapy.

Paul Ehrlich is best known for his discovery of salvarsan, the first effective treatment for syphilis. He also proposed the "magic bullet" concept, suggesting that drugs could be designed to target specific disease-causing agents without harming healthy cells.

Dr. Paul Ehrlich was the first person to treat disease using chemicals. Before him medical treatments were broad spectrum. He fathered the idea that a medical treatment could be custom made to target the specific cause (syphillis in this case) of disease. Chemotherapy is the treatment of disease through customized chemical compounds which have specific biological targets and do not attack the entire organism which contains the target.

The procedure to insert a port-a-cath typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. However, the overall time can vary depending on the individual's specific anatomy and any complications that may arise during the procedure.

Antibiotics are effective against bacteria, usually by breaking down the cell wall. These are given to ward off infection after surgery or injury, or for diseases like TB that are caused by bacteria.

Chemotherapeutic agents are poisons used to fight cancer. Cancer cells are "young" because they are rapidly dividing. "Young" cells are more vulnerable to poisons, and also radiation in radiation therapy.

Antibiotics are fairly safe, although their misuse or overuse can be disastrous. They also kill "friendly" bacteria that inhabit every inch of your body. These friendly colonies help keep malicious bacteria from getting a foothold.

Chemotherapy can be a very difficult experience. Although the target is cancer cells, the whole body is poisoned. This and radiation is why cancer patients so often lose hair, are nauseated, etc.

A newcomer on this field is interferon. It is an effective antiviral. This type of drug gives therapy for diseases like HIV and hepatitis which are caused by viruses and are not treatable with antibiotics. Side effects can be bad flu like symptoms for 3-5 days after the weekly shots. Antibiotics are agents that are derived from certain microorganisms, and are used to kill or inhibit certain microorganisms, which is not synthesized in the laboratory.

On the other hand, Chemotherapeutic are agents that are synthesized in the laboratory.

Green rubbing alcohol is commonly used as a disinfectant for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces. Its green color is due to the addition of a dye for easy identification. It is not typically used for medical purposes as it can be harsh on the skin.

Cancer does not always kill. While it is a serious and life-changing illness, many people live long, meaningful lives after a cancer diagnosis. The outcome depends on several factors, including the type of cancer, how early it is detected, how fast it grows, and how the body responds to treatment and care.

Some cancers grow very slowly and may never become life-threatening. Others can be controlled for many years, much like a long-term condition. Advances in medical science have greatly improved survival rates, especially when cancer is identified at an early stage. Early detection allows timely intervention, which can stop the disease from spreading and reduce complications.

It is also important to understand that cancer itself is not always the direct cause of death. In many cases, complications related to organ function, infections, or overall weakness contribute to serious outcomes. With proper monitoring, supportive care, and lifestyle adjustments, these risks can often be managed.

Most importantly, every cancer journey is different. A diagnosis does not mean the end of life. Awareness, early action, and consistent care have helped millions of people recover, manage their condition, or live longer with a good quality of life.

because the drugs change the body and it's functions

Atenolol is an off-label drug prescribed for essential tremor. Currently, there is no FDA approved drug for this movement disorder. There are other treatment options, including other off-label drugs and Deep Brain Stimulation.

fatigue and easy bleeding and bruising. Damage to intestinal cells leads to a loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Mouth sores and hair loss also are common side effects of chemotherapy.

SYPHILLIS

The answer is Ftorafur! Took me forever to figure that one out!

A step to cure disease especially in Cancer through chemical substances

It is called adjuvant

the child could be possibly be born with birth deficts

It's the Generic name for the Brand name Decadron, a chemotherapy drug.

A person should not drink alcohol when taking chemotherapy. The weakened state of the body can prevent it from eliminating the alcohol from the system as quickly. it can also interfere with how well the chemotherapy works.

it costs about $20 - 50,000,000

People with contagious diseases. Chemo weakens the body's resistance to disease- you can get sick very easily.

Chemotherapy can only attempt to target cancer, but all other cells are affected by chemotherapy, including cells in the bone marrow (developing red blood cells) and the blood.

Your doctor should be watching for anemia and offering solutions if you are anemic.

Russell Portenoy, M.D.: It is important to distinguish the direct effects of chemotherapy as it circulates in the body from the long-term effect that can continue after the body has eliminated the chemotherapy through normal metabolic pathways. Most chemotherapy is eliminated from the body fairly quickly, and the fatigue that patients experience after treatment is a prolonged effect that continues long after the chemotherapy is gone. A person should not assume that feeling fatigued means that the chemotherapy is still in the body. As we said before, fatigue has many possible causes and the experience of severe fatigue should be evaluated so that these causes can be identified and treated.

It's an expression used for the rather foggy response of the brain due to the effects of chemotherapy. It wears off after the course is complete.

Thats not True! The Wearing off part) I had treatment a year ago,& I still suffer from it & so do Alot of people

Go look for yourself O the American Cancer Society Wbste! It hangs aroun!

You would need two codes for this. The first is 995.29 complications of chemotherapy(antineoplastics) and the second is 787.01 nausea with vomiting. unless it is just nausea then it would be 787.02, vomiting alone with no nausea is 787.03, hope this helps!!

it is used in cancer.

Probably not - given that chemotherapy destroys the patients immune system. Exposure to any illness would have serious consequences for the patient.
