Brachytherapy


Chemotherapy because of the effect of the split , and the growth of tumors ( leukemia or Hodgkin's disease ) are more likely to treat , such as the vast majority of the cancer cells to make continuous cell division .Cancer cells are the result of several consecutive mutations of normal cells , which generally leads to the differentiation of other cells . Due to the special function in the body over time , and the cancer cells by mutations and gradually this differentiation and the normal operation of the collection lose . Chemicals used in chemotherapy more effective tumors affect " younger " (ie differences ) , there are usually kept in a cell at a higher level of differentiation at least the initial part of the process , and to control the spread. Also for the center of solid tumors , in particular, there is more cell division , which makes these cells resistant to chemotherapy . Another problem with solid tumors that are rarely used and the means of access to the center of the tumor. To resolve this issue , we use brachytherapy and surgery of course .
