They are the main treatment for certain cancers‚ but theyre also used with treatments such as radiation‚ and surgery. Chemotherapy vs Targeted cancer

When solid objects are heated‚ they emit radiation. At normal temperature‚ we are not aware of this radiation because the intensity is low. At higher temperatures‚ there is sufficient infrared radiation that we can feel the "heat" if we are close to them. At even higher temperature‚ the objects actually glow‚ like the heating element of toaster or red-hot electric stove burner. Since they are radiating energy‚ there must be a rate at which they are radiating. They may radiate 10 Joules per second

the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. It helps the immune system to defeat cancer cells and stops them from growing and spreading to other parts of the body. Radio immunotherapy is a treatment that uses monoclonal antibodies to transport radiations and drugs directly to cancer cells without damaging other healthy cells. Finally‚ chemotherapy can be effective sometimes but cannot be always the right way to treat the disease. Scientists and doctors should introduce the alternatives of chemotherapy

Radioactive emissions are electromagnetic radiations which occur due to the spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclei. Natural elements with atomic number greater than 83 and isotopes of some lighter elements are found to be radioactive. They are categorized as alpha‚ beta and gamma radiations. Alpha particles are positively charged helium-4 nuclei ‚ beta particles are high energy-high speed electrons while gamma rays unlike alpha and beta radiation have no mass and charge and are short electromagnetic

The Big Bang Theory What is the Big Bang Theory? The Big Bang is the dominant (and highly supported) theory of the origin of the universe. In essence‚ this theory states that the universe began from an initial point or singularity which has expanded over billions of years to form the universe as we now know it. In 1959 a survey was conducted of scientists across America concerning their understanding of the physical sciences. One particular question asked “What is your concept of the age of

Does Chemo Help treat Cancer patients? The topic that I am writing about is whether or not chemotherapy cures cancer.I believe that it does. I believe that it does‚ because of all the ways chemo helps cancer patients also‚ because of the survival rates. Some disagree‚ because sometimes the survival rates drop. Now here is why I believe chemo cures cancer. According to the American Cancer Society "Chemotherapy may be used to: keep cancer from spreading‚ sow cancer growth‚ kill cancer cells

Tattoos are the coolest way of expressing one’s interests and beliefs. Yet most people often outgrow their priorities with time and sooner or later set out in search of tattoo removal techniques. But thanks to the new laser technology that makes tattoo removal much safer and easier than the traditional salabrasion or excision procedures. Before opting to remove the ink using laser treatments‚ here are the important things you must know. Laser tattoo removal sends the ink out through the blood

Lit 2 May 2013 History of Cancer: Radiation There is a broad group of different types of cancers and they all have a wide range of causes. Each cancer is different according to its biology and pathophysiology. Cancer is a very broad topic but chose four topics that show that radiation is the main cause of cancer. Before I can prove radiation is the cause of cancer‚ there needs to be an introduction as to what cancer is and how it spreads

Adaptive Radiation An example of adaptive radiation occurring after a mass extinction is the extinction that killed off the dinosaurs. What caused this mass extinction was when a massive comet hit earth‚ off the Yucatan Peninsula. However‚ the mammals that survived this catastrophic event for the most part‚ survived because they could burrow in holes for shelter. Regardless‚ about 90% of all life on earth was destroyed. This led to an opportunity for the surviving plants and animals to disperse

Nuclear Radiation There are many ways that the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" are similar. "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story that deals with nuclear radiation and what the future world would be like if there was an atomic bomb. This short story is a good example of what could happen in the future. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a movie that also has the same genre‚ that it is science fiction. It helps
