A new approach to cancer treatment using low-energy gamma-rays is discussed. Cultures of bone marrow mononuclear cells collected from normal donors and patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia have been studied after the addition of hematin, at different concentrations, and irradiation by a Mss...
Gamma Rays: The electromagnetic spectrum contains different types of energy waves. The strongest of these energy waves are gamma rays, these rays are very strong rays of energy that can be damaging and helpful. Answer and Explanation:1
A new approach to cancer treatment using low-energy gamma-rays is discussed. Cultures of bone marrow mononuclear cells collected from normal donors and patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia have been studied after the addition of hematin, at different concentrations, and irradiation by a Mssbaue...
with suitable surface modification to immobilize both tumor targeting agent and chemokine on their surfaces. The interactions between immune cells and tumor cells were visualized using an optical microscope. Use of quantum dots in the treatment of cancer is a great advancement ...
radiation beams are trained on the tumor from different angles. The radiation destroys the tumor. Equipment used to do radiosurgery varies in its radiation source; a gamma knife uses focused gamma rays, and a linear accelerator uses photons, while heavy-charged particle radiosurgery uses a proton ...
CARDIOVASCULAR disturbances produced by large doses of gamma rays and short X-rays, even when the heart itself has not been directly treated, are accompanied by symptoms which are well known clinically: dyspncea, tachycardia, general fall of blood-pressure, and asystolia in very serious cases (...
Part I of this study presented an analysis of the solid cancer mortality data for 1950–1997 from the Japanese life-span study of the A-bomb survivors to assess the cancer risk for -rays in terms of the organ-specific dose for all solid cancers combined. Compared to earlier analyses...

Radiation treatment, as a common approach for battling tumors, has a history of more than 100 years. However, traditional radiation treatment uses beams such as x-rays and gamma rays, which can not distinguish normal cells from cancer cells. The beams would kill both, bringing inevitable and ...
This combination treatment proved effective in decreasing the in vivo and in vitro tumor cell survival rates, demonstrating the prospect of using AuNPs as drug delivery carriers coupled with subsequent thermal treatment for effec- tive eradication of tumor cells. The effects of AuNPs conjugated with ...
