During radiation therapy forbrain cancer, progenitor cells that later mature to produce the protective myelin coating around neurons are lost or significantly depleted, and there is no treatment available to restore them. These myelinating cells—called oligodendrocytes—are critical for shielding and rep...

or the emission of high-energy waves or particles, works as a therapy by damaging a cancer cell's DNA. It's an effective tool for killing cancer cells because they are generally muchless adept at DNA repaircompared to healthy cells. Damaging specific parts of DNA prevents cancer...
Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain.When a tumor is going to be removed surgically, radiation can shrink it. This reduces the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed near the tumor. When ...
根据上文的Searra, an eight-year-old brain cancer patient, was a “regular” in the Radiation Department.可知,CC是放射科的常客,所以她每次走进放射科,就和大家联络一下感情。故选B。 A.herself她自己;C.doctors医生;D.nurses护士。下文只提及了Mommie,提到CC对Mommie的爱,所以CC是想在治疗前为Mommie画...
To improve locoregional tumor control and survival in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC), therapy is intensified using altered fractionation radiation therapy or concomitant chemotherapy. However, intensification of therapy has been associated with increased acute and late toxic effec...
Ionizing radiation has been pivotal in cancer therapy since its discovery. Despite its therapeutic benefits, IR causes significant acute and chronic complications due to DNA damage and the generation of reactive oxygen species, which harm nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. While cancer cells are mo...
Brain metastases in colorectal cancer are uncommon, which has resulted in a shortage of data concerning their screening and management. Multiple therapeutic modalities with chemotherapy, chemoradiation and targeted therapy, including bevacizumab and cetuximab regimens, have shown promising results. The present...
Radiation therapy treatscancerby using high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. The goal is to destroy or damage the cancer without hurting too many healthy cells.It is given over a certain time period; it can be given around the time of surgery or chemotherapy. It can also be used to ease...
