Radiotherapy is a type of treatment that
destroys the DNA of cancer cells by using
penetrating gamma rays or streams of particles.Radiotherapy radiates the part of the body
where the tumor is located in order to destroythe DNA, the radiation will either kill the cancer
cell or stop it from multiplying. Since the intactDNA is required for the cancer cell to continue
to survive radiotherapy cures the patient of
Cancer.

Pros: Radiotherapy is painless
External radiation won'tmake the pet radioactive
Following surgery,radiotherapy can destroyany remaining cancer
cells around the site of thetumor that surgery couldnot remove.
Pros and Cons
Cons: Radiation treatment has been
linked to increased risk of
developing a second cancer in the years after receivingradiation therapy
Skin in the treated area maybecome sensitive and easily
irritated
Can cause problems withtissues, glands or organs near the site of the treatment

It’s a kind of cancer treatment that involves
taking certain kinds of drugs, such as alkylatingagents, antimetabolites, anthracyclines, andtopoisomerase inhibitors, that interfere with theDNA of fast growing cells. They are typically
given to patients through an IV, but can alsobe given orally or through direct infusion into alimb or the liver.

Pros and Cons
Pros: Many doctors have
successfully slowed
cancer cells by usingchemotherapy after atumor has beensurgically removed .
Chemotherapy drugsare cytotoxic, whichmeans they kill the cellsin the body that aremultiplying rapidlywhich is how most
cancer cells perform.
Cons: Chemotherapy kills any
dividing cell including
healthy cells all over the body caught in theact of dividing.
It is only effective in 2 to
4 percent of cancers
For people who havehealthy cell division,you may end up killingyour body before you
kill the cancer.

Cancer surgery is an operation to repair
or remove a part of someone's body inorder to treat cancer. The purpose of thesurgery is to cure the Cancer byremoving it from your body. This is done
by cutting into your body and removingthe cancer along with some surroundinghealthy tissue to ensure that all of thecancer is removed.

Pros: Surgery can be done
for many reasons and is
able to treat a widevariety of cancers
It is the oldest form oftreatment and provides
the greatest chance for curing cancer,especially in peoplewhere it has not spreadto other parts of thebody
Cons: If the cancer has
spread to a certain partof the body it can not
be removed without
damaging vital organs
such as the brain or the
liver
Wound infection
and/or excessive
bleeding after surgery

Is a type of chemistry involving changes
in the atomic nucleus. It includes:transmutation, radioactive, artificial, andnatural decay, half lives, balancingnuclear equations, nuclear reactions,
electromagnetic radiation, the atomicmodel and of course nuclear radiation.

Radiation- a general term for any type of energythat emanates or radiates outward
Electromagnetic radiation (ER)- radiation movingat the speed of light, ranging from high-energygamma rays to low energy radio waves; includesvisible light
Ionizing radiation- radiation with sufficient energyto ionize atoms or molecules
Nuclear reactions- involve changes in particles inan atom’s nucleus and thus cause a change in theatom itself.
Isotope- atoms of the same element havingdifferent numbers of neutrons and therefore a
different mass number and atomic mass

Nuclear radiation- Particles of ER emitted from anucleus during radioactive decay
Half-Life- time needed for decay of one-half theatoms in a sample of radioactive material
Nuclear Fission- the process in which a heavynucleus splits in order to form medium weightnuclei
Nuclear Fusion- the process in which light weightnuclei combine to form a heavier, more stablenucleus
Transmutation- change in the identity of a nucleusbecause of a change in the number of its protons
Radioactive isotope- an isotope with an unstablenucleus that undergoes radioactive decay

There are three kinds of transmutation:Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
Alpha= helium nucleus ( )Ex)
Bata= electron ( )
Ex) Gama= form of high- energy ER ( )
