Treating Cancer
Cancer can be treated in a number of ways Surgery Chemotherapy Radiation Therapy Immunotherapy and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy are among the most popular The choice of cancer therapy is made by looking at the stage of the disease and the state of the patient The goal of cancer treatment is the complete removal of the cancer without significantly damaging the rest of the body Sometimes a surgeon can remove the cancer easily other times this is not possible Chemotherapy and Radiation can be quite affective in killing cancer cells but they are also toxic to healthy cells The Breast Cancer Run Surgery Theoretically non blood based cancers can be cured if entirely removed by surgery This is easier said than done If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body before surgery it is usually impossible to remove all the cancer through surgery Two of the most well know surgical procedures for removing cancer are mastectomy where one or both of the breast are removed in an effort to treat breast cancer and a prostatectomy where all or part of the prostate gland are removed Cancer can recur if a single cell is left behind after surgery With this in mind a pathologist will carefully examine your surgical specimen to make sure there is a margin of healthy tissue present Surgery is also used to determine the stage extent of cancer Staging is very important for determining a prognosis and treatment A Radiation Mask Radiation Therapy Radiation Therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors Radiation can be giving externally through External Beam Radiotherapy EBRT or internally through Brachytherapy The effects of radiation are concentrated on the area being treated Radiation Therapy damages the DNA of the cancer cells making it impossible for them to grow and divide Radiation Therapy damages both healthy and cancer cells but healthy cells are able to recover from the Radiation Radiation is given over several rounds so the healthy cells have a chance to recover
