Summary Introduction
To determine:
Physicians who administered the radiation as a cancer treatment subsequently died of cancer
Concept Introduction:
Cancer is collectively a group of disease in which abnormal cell growth occurs and it has potential to infect or spread to other body parts. Radiation is the way to treat cancer. X-rays are used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. There are many side effects of radiation therapy like fatigue and skin reactions.

- The current way to gauge the effectiveness of chemotherapy is to track the size of the tumor. If the tumor shrinks, the chemotherapy is said to be "working." If cancer stem cells really do act the way we think they do, what will be the new way that the effectiveness of chemotherapy will be evaluated?arrow_forwardone question with multiple parts! 1A) If you were a cancer biologist interested in developing new drugs that will slow down cancer cell metastasis, which of the following strategies would be most effective? a)Develop an activator of mitosis b)Make Her2 protein that is more active on the surface of the cancer cells c) Develop a molecule that increases telomerase activity d) Gene therapy to add a mutated p53 gene to the cancer cells 1B) You are a genetic counsellor, and a couple comes to you with concerns that if they have a child together the child could have the X-linked recessive disease Duchene muscular dystrophy. The man has the disease whereas the woman is a carrier. Which of the following would be a true statement to tell them? a) 100% of their male offspring will likely be carriers of the recessive allele that causes the disease b) 75% of their female offspring will likely be carriers of the recessive allele that causes the disease c) 100% of their male offspring will likely…arrow_forwardEvery year, about a million Americans are diagnosed with cancer. This means that about 75 million Americans now living will eventually have cancer, And one in five will die of the disease. There are many kinds of cancers and many causes, such as smoking, overexposure to ultraviolet rays, a high fat and low fiber diet, and some workplace chemicals. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year on searching for treatment, yet less money is spent on prevention. Should we devote more resources to treating cancer or to preventing it?
