What are the types of radiation therapy? Like surgery, radiation therapy can be a local treatment; it affects cancer cells only in the treated area. If the area treated is broader, we say it is then a regional treatment. Rarely, the whole body is given radiation therapy for a systemic or...
The initial cancer treatment received during the 6 months after cancer diagnosis consisted of (i) radical prostatectomy (RP); (ii) radiation therapy (RT); (iii) hormone therapy; and (iv) no treatment. Pre-existing chronic conditions were classified into the following eight groups: (i) only ...
Treatment Prognosis Prevention What is skin cancer? There are three types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Most skin cancers are locally destructive cancerous (malignant) growth of the skin. They originate from the cells of the epidermis, the superf...

Radiation exposure.Previous radiation therapy can put you at ahigher risk of getting adenocarcinoma. So can too much UV radiation from sunlight. Adenocarcinoma Symptoms The symptoms of adenocarcinoma you experience will depend on the type of cancer you have. Here are some of the main cancer symptom...
Most skin cancers are caused by UV exposure that damages the DNA of skin cells. So people who get too much sun or sunburns have a higher risk for skin cancer, as all wavelengths of UV radiation that reach the Earth's surface, including UVA and UVB, accelerate skin aging and promote ski...
Breast cancer is a complex disease, and many aspects of this disease are under intensive research. Better treatment of breast cancer can only be discovered if we have better understanding of all aspects of the disease, in particular, accurate molecular markers, genetic landscape, and epigenetic fac...
For external radiation therapy, a process called simulation is necessary prior to treatment. Using CT scans, computers, and precise measurements, simulation maps out the exact location where the radiation will be delivered, called the treatment field or port. The external radiation treatment itself ge...
