treatment for cancer patients by ijam(a117678)

Hye friends..Here I want to share with you’ll about the treatment that done for person who get a cancer. Cancer is a disease where it some production of the cell where our body did not want it. Basically the patient will done three treatment there is operation, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
• Operation:
Operation will do to remove the source of the cancer. It like some lump, this lump will be at any position of the patient’s body. This lump will not make the patients feel painful and sometime patients do not conscious about that. This operation is depending on the type of cancer and the position of the lump. Some time doctors will not done the operation because they did not to take any risks. Operation is the first treatment will be done before the other treatment.

• Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects. During chemotherapy patients may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects that patients have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy that they get. Side effects vary, but common ones are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, pain and hair loss. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away. The course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how body responds. Patients may get treatment every day, every week or every month. They may have breaks between treatments so that their body has a chance to build new healthy cells. Patients might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot or intravenously.

• Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells. Most common cancer types can be treated with radiotherapy in some way. The precise treatment intent will depend on the tumors type, location, and stage, as well as the general health of the patient. The radiation fields may also include the draining lymph nodes if they are clinically or radiologic ally involved with tumors, or if there is thought to be a risk of subclinical malignant spread. It is necessary to include a margin of normal tissue around the tumors to allow for uncertainties in daily set-up and internal tumor motion. These uncertainties can be caused by internal movement (for example, respiration and bladder filling) and movement of external skin marks relative to the tumors position.
