Chemotherapy is one of the most widely used medical procedures in modern cancer treatment.

Chemotherapy is a type of treatment by which cancer cells are destroyed and their expansion is stopped.

However, one type of treatment is not applicable for all types of cancer.

Different types of cancer cells respond to various types of medicines.

The combination of eight types of medicines for the best fruits of chemotherapy is done.

To improve the treatment through chemotherapy, doctors are trying to make adjustments of new types of medicines.

Most of the time chemotherapy causes the body to weaken. But some modern chemotherapy creates a little problem.

When chemotherapy is given?

Chemotherapy drugs are inserted into the body through blood. It then spread to the whole body. As a result, cancer cells will be destroyed wherever they are found.

Chemotherapy is given only when doctors think that the cancer cells are in many places in the body.

If the cancer is not detected, some of its cells are detached from the original tumor and attack the surrounding area.

Many times the cancer cell goes too far. As the liver or lungs continue to spread.

A physician can cut the cancer tumors and surrounding tissues through surgery.

Cancer cell can be destroyed through radiotherapy. But radio therapy is available in a small area.

However, it is possible to lose the healthy cells of the body.

Chemotherapy is given if there is a possibility of more harmful cancer cells after exposing the affected area.

Some types of cancer, such as chemotherapy for leukemia treatment, are given.

Because of leukemia infection, it spreads throughout the body.

Many times chemotherapy is given before surgery. This is done to minimize the size of the cancer tumor.

If the size of the tumor is reduced, it is easier for the doctor to drop it through the surgery.

Although chemotherapy is often not cured, chemotherapy is given. Through this the patient's body is slightly better prepared.

How does chemotherapy work?

Chemotherapy is a type of poison for cancer cells.

Cancer cells are destroyed in this. It is called cytotoxic chemical.

But remember that the thing is seen to be poisonous for the body's cancer cell, it can also damage the healthy-normal cells of the body.

Chemotherapy is one thing that can destroy the harmful cancer cells of the body as much as possible and destroy the good cells as much as possible.

With chemotherapy, doctors are now more successful, because of this they can be distinguished by identifying the good cells of the body's cancer cells and its surroundings.

There is a fundamental difference between the body's cancer cells and healthy cells.

The cancer cells quickly break down and make cancer cells again.

On the other hand, healthy cells are not as fast as cancerous cells and do not spread.

Tuberculosis is caused by cancer cells, because of the rapid spread of new cells.

The natural immune system does not attack cancer cells.

Because the cancer cells are made inside the body. As a result, the body's immune system does not think of cancer coming from outside.

Some chemotherapy tries to change the body's immune system in such a way that they see cancer cells as cells from outside and attack them.

How is chemotherapy given?

Usually injected into the chemotherapy diarrhea.

Quite often, how chemotherapy is given in the way saline is given. Due to this, the medicine becomes somewhat thin.

If a patient has to take other medicines, then an injectable tube is placed in his vein. So that it does not have to be opened and put on repeatedly for various types of medicines. This can reduce the discomfort of the patient.

There is a certain amount of chemotherapy in a particular area of ​​the body. If the chemotherapy is applied directly to the cancerous area, side effects may be less.

How long the chemotherapy will last depends on the type of cancer. Some chemotherapy is given after 15 days. Again a few months later.

What is the side effect?

Because some chemotherapy attacks rapidly growing cancer cells, this is likely to cause harm to good cells.

The cells in the body that are associated with the hair may be affected by chemotherapy. That is why the hair falls on chemotherapy. However, after the end of chemotherapy, the hair regenerated.

Chemotherapy causes the body to weaken and diarrhea. On the other hand, blood vessels of the body may be damaged by chemotherapy.

The red blood cell of the blood keeps the other cells alive by carrying oxygen. Other blood cells help prevent infection.

People with chemotherapy are susceptible to infection because they are damaged.

People with chemotherapy may suffer from severe fatigue. Chemotherapy can damage the production capacity of the male and female child. Sperm and ovum may be mixed due to chemotherapy.
