What is the role of Medical Radiations in diagnosis and treatment of breast canc!
Question: I'm not doctor, but if you mean the x-rays and other methods used to detect masses of tissue, it's to find the masses of tissue in the body and to see if it has spread anywhere else. Of course it's not 100%, but medical has become much more effective at finding malignant masses of tissue.
And as for treatment, breast cancer cells as well as other cancer cells are usually weaker then surrounding good tissue to certain treatments. Unfortunately many of those treatments, imparticularly the radioactive ones have systemic (meaning they affect the entire body) side effects. Which is why people lose their hair and have other health related side effects. However with breast cancer imparticularly, there is much research and discoverys that have been made. Many new treatments come out regularly concerning breast cancer. Usually doctors like to use the ones with the least side effects first and if they don't work, doctors tend to move on to the more powerful drugs.
But since everyone's body is different, the cancer cells will react differently for everyone, so finding the right treatment can be hard. I'd recomend you ask your doctor any question you have, buy recently published books on the subject as they would have the most up to date medical information, and don't be afraid to get second and third opinions. My aunt passed away from breast cancer, the important thing is start treatment early and as for nutrition, different doctors have different opinions because providing good nutrition for your good cells also provides good nutrition for your cancer cells. So learn all you can about it, it's a battle, my aunt fought this battle. Unfortunately for me, God called her to come home. But now she is at peace up there, as for me, I'll see her one day again.
