    Radiation consists of using high doses of radiation to kill the cancer cells. What radiation does to the cancer cell is that it causes chemical changes that destabilize DNA, the genetic code that tells a cell how to grow, reproduce and die. Doctors need to be extra careful with radiation because it can also kill good healthy cells. To protect good cells from getting harmed, doctors need to be as precise as possible when aiming radiation. Doctors also limit the amount of radiation administered in a patient, depending on the goal of treatment and the organs around the area that is to be treated, (Bernard, 2006).…

    “Traditional” cancer treatments are on the rise and are in abundance. The most common treatments are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. A few of the lesser known are targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplant. Surgery is not only a treatment, but it can be used to diagnose and prevent most cancers. There are multiple surgical techniques, such as, full removal, partial removal, and some techniques are to treat a specific problem caused by the cancer itself. Chemotherapy is the use of strong medications, which have been proven, to kill or damage cancer cells, to treat cancer. There are over one hundred medications that can be used in different combinations. Radiation therapy is the utilization, of high-energy waves, to damage or destroy the cancer cells(Mayo,”Cancer”).

When referring to the side effects, of the many surgical procedures, most of common problems can happen during, and/or after the surgery. The side effects during the surgery range from, hemorrhaging, or bleeding out in the middle of surgery, to the possible damage of other organs, and also the side effects after, could be as serious as a deadly infection. Chemotherapy’s side effects are what the average person thinks of when thinking of a cancer patient losing their hair, horrible spells of nausea, including vomiting and debilitating fatigue. Managing these side effects include more medications, with more side effects to emanate. Late effects of chemotherapy include anywhere, from heart problems to developing other types of cancer.
