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 present chapter includes explicit information on cancer types such as cancer of blood, lungs, colon and rectum, prostate, skin, breast, uterus, thyroid, lymphatic system, etc. Cancers are being treated by various methods which include chemotherapy, precision medicine, radiation therapy, surgery,...
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...
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...
The side effects of standard chemotherapy andradiation treatmentcan be devastating, and the eradication of all cancer cells is not guaranteed, especially when the cancer has already metastasized and spread throughout the body. Therefore, the goal of most research these days is to find a way to ...
Symptoms vary from person to person but generally include a visible lump and swelling, pain, and limited movement of the joint closest to the tumor. Treatment is usually with surgery to remove the tumor or radiation therapy if you aren't fit enough to have surgery. ...
12 in 2021 to 5 in 2022. Although they do not necessarily deliver novel discoveries, review articles are very useful to efficiently summary essential knowledge of the field. For instance, epidemiology was reviewed in pancreatic cancer by Rawala et al [1], in prostate cancer by Cassell et al ...
Radiationcolitis(such as following treatment with radiation forprostate cancer) Ischemic colitis(such as blockage of an artery in the colon by ablood clot. If the blood clotinterrupts the flow of blood to a segment of the colon, the result is inflammation of that segment and, sometimes, even...
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...
