4. Mr. Juan Dela Cruz, a 50-year-old male was diagnosed to have prostate carcinoma stage III. He was advised to undergo radiation therapy concurrent with chemotherapy. Explain the following questions based on radiobiological principles. a. How can radiation kill cells? Explain at the molecular level. b. What are the advantages of using x-ray and gamma-ray in radiation therapy? c. Prior to the start of radiation therapy, Mr. Dela Cruz was found to have anemia and was advised to have a blood transfusion. How does oxygen fix the damage and why it is important in cell killing?

Figure 17.15 In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is considered to be more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?

7.-The decision by some high-risk women to have their breasts removed to prevent the possibility of developing cancer could be a truly life-altering decision. At first glance, this decision could make sense for those women who are at elevated risk due to genetic or family history factors. Counter that with living in a society that seems to be moving toward even greater obsession with female breasts at earlier ages (e.g., breast implants for 16th birthdays!)
