Radiation Irradiation

Radiation irradiation is widely used for cancer treatment. When patient's physical strength can not tolerate surgery, cancer treatment by radiation irradiation is considered to be effective, such as when cancer surgery generates cancer cells in a difficult part to take out.

Radiation Irradiation

Radiation irradiation is widely used for cancer treatment. When patient's physical strength can not tolerate surgery, cancer treatment by radiation irradiation is considered to be effective, such as when cancer surgery generates cancer cells in a difficult part to take out.
Radiation irradiation in cancer treatment refers to applying radiation emitted from a radioactive isotope to the human body. By applying radiation to the affected area, you can target cancer cells and kill or degenerate cancer cells.
Simply irradiating the human body has an adverse effect not only on cancer cells but also on normal cells. Therefore, it seems that the radiation irradiation device is devised so that it can kill cancer cells as much as possible by focusing radiation on cancer cells.
However, even though it is devised that the radiation irradiation device is effective only on cancer cells, the burden on the body is impaired such as normal cells being damaged.
As side effects of radiation irradiation, it is said that changes in the skin and falling off of the hair are general. However, it can not be said unconditionally, because it depends on the range, intensity and frequency of irradiation. Some people may not have side effects in particular, but there are cases in which there are obligations to stop radiotherapy due to large side effects.
Treatment becomes difficult when radiation therapy also metastasizes cancer, or cancer cells become widespread. If you irradiated a wide range of radiation to several places in the body, it will inevitably increase the adverse effect.
Radiation therapy is said to be effective in cancer treatment. However, it may be said that it is limited only to the early stages where the range of cancer cells is narrow and metastasis is not progressing.

About Cancer

Cancer is
The cancer is a malignant tumor that occurred in the body. Tumors have benign and malignant. Tumors that proliferate and harm the body are called malignant. The tumor was originally formed by division of the body's cells.

Severe Pain
As cancer progresses, it involves intense pain and suffering. The cancer pain is caused by the proliferation of cancer cells, the surrounding nutrients are abruptly lost, and the surrounding cellular tissue is damaged. Painful pain will be difficult to endure.

Cause of Cancer
Why do people become cancer? How can I avoid getting cancer? Because cancer cells develop, there should be some cause there. Various theories are said to cause cancer.

Modern Medicine and Cancer

Inspection of Cancer
Cancer examination includes palpation examination, radiography, MRI examination, or endoscopic examination. In recent years, interest in cancer has also increased, and activities are undertaken to detect early on cancer screening.
Excision Surgery
In terms of cancer surgery, extensive surgery is commonly performed widely. Removal surgery of cancer is surgery that removes cancer cells generated in the body and organs around it. It is to take all the bad places.
Radiation Irradiation
Radiation irradiation is widely used for cancer treatment. When patient's physical strength can not tolerate surgery, cancer treatment by radiation irradiation is considered to be effective, such as when cancer surgery generates cancer cells in a difficult part to take out.
Anti-cancer Agent
Anticancer agent is basically a variety of medicines made to suppress and reduce cancer cell proliferation. Surgery and radiotherapy, and prescription of anticancer drug are combined and are called three major therapies of modern medicine.
Progress and Challenges of Modern Medicine
Modern medicine is progressing. Development of inspection technology, evolution of surgical tools and equipment are remarkable. Radiation irradiation equipment is progressing year by year. New anticancer drugs have been developed one after another and put to practical use.

Chinese Medicine and Cancer

Approach to Cancer of Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine doing various research and efforts about cancer. A new herbal medicine has been developed that combines various traditional Chinese herbal medicines that are said to have an effect and trying out new ingredients to kill cancer.
Benefits of Chinese Medicine

Issues of Chinese Medicine
Although it is the traditional Chinese medicine that has attracted attention recently in cancer treatment, the issues have come to be seen. It would be appreciated if Chinese medicine supplemented the lack of contemporary medicine and provided better cancer treatment, but it seems not to be so easy.
Mind to Rely on Chinese Medicine
It seems that traditional herbal medicine etc. are selling pretty well as reputation or rumor that it works for cancer. There are not a few people who are going to rely on with herbal medicine by disliking surgery, radiotherapy, or anticancer drugs when pronounced as cancer.
