Cancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow and divide uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors. It can affect any part of the body and is more prevalent today than in the past. While cancer is a serious condition, advancements in medical science have made many forms of cancer treatable and even curable.
Symptoms during cancer treatment may include fever above 38°C, shivering, night sweats, severe diarrhea, frequent urination, severe cough, and sore throat. If these symptoms occur, contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
No, treatment is typically administered by expert technicians. A radiotherapy oncology specialist may be present during some sessions if necessary.
Yes, cancer can occur at any age, including in children. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for successful outcomes in pediatric cancer cases.
Chemotherapy uses strong chemicals to target and kill rapidly growing cancer cells. These drugs either shrink tumors or stop cancer cells from growing and spreading.
Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors by damaging the DNA of the cells, preventing them from dividing.
Hormone therapy stops or slows the growth of cancers that use hormones to grow. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation where radioactive implants are placed inside or near the tumor to deliver high doses of radiation, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Targeted therapy uses drugs to focus on specific molecules or genes in cancer cells that are responsible for tumor growth. It aims to slow or stop cancer progression by attacking cancer at a genetic level.
Chemotherapy treatments are usually administered every 3 weeks, though intervals may vary between 2 to 4 weeks depending on the specific disease and treatment plan.
Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, fatigue, and mouth sores. Side effects depend on the type of drug and the patient's response.
Chemotherapy can cause skin changes such as redness, dryness, darkening, and itching. In some cases, nails may become brittle or discolored.
Chemotherapy reduces red blood cell count, leading to anemia. This results in fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and weakness.
Always consult your doctor before taking any additional medications, including painkillers, vitamins, or supplements, as they may interfere with chemotherapy treatment.
No, not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss. The likelihood of hair loss depends on the specific chemotherapy drug being used.
Hair loss during chemotherapy is usually temporary. Hair typically begins to grow back 4 to 6 weeks after treatment is completed.
No, the effectiveness of chemotherapy is not related to whether it causes hair loss. Different drugs have different side effects and effectiveness depends on the type of cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy can alter taste buds, reduce appetite, or cause mouth sores, making eating difficult. Small, frequent meals and nutritious foods are recommended to maintain strength.
Some chemotherapy drugs can cause mouth and throat dryness or sores, making swallowing and chewing difficult. Soft, pureed foods and proper oral care can help alleviate this discomfort.
It’s advisable to avoid tattoos during chemotherapy due to the increased risk of infection from a reduced white blood cell count.
Non-urgent dental work should be postponed, but necessary procedures can be performed after coordinating with your doctor and checking blood cell levels.
Always consult your doctor before taking vitamins or supplements, as some may interfere with chemotherapy. In certain cases, such as after stomach surgery, supplements may be necessary.
Taking acetaminophen is generally safe, but always consult your doctor before using any other painkillers during chemotherapy.
Consult your doctor before using antibiotics. Some symptoms of chemotherapy side effects may mimic infections, and misdiagnosing them could complicate treatment.
Consult your doctor before getting any vaccines. Live vaccines should be avoided during chemotherapy, while inactivated vaccines may be less effective.
Chemotherapy can affect fertility, especially in women over 35. Fertility counseling before starting treatment can help preserve reproductive options.
Chemotherapy is typically avoided during the first trimester but may be considered safe in later stages of pregnancy. Always consult your oncologist for guidance.
The number of radiotherapy sessions varies depending on the type and progression of the tumor. Sessions can range from a single session to 30-40 sessions, based on the treatment plan recommended by your doctor.
Your treatment team includes a Radiotherapy Specialist (responsible for overseeing the treatment), a Radiotherapy Expert (who performs the daily treatment), and a Clinical Physicist (who designs therapeutic fields). Depending on the tumor, other team members may include psychologists, nutritionists, and physical therapists.
The cost of radiotherapy depends on the type of treatment, the number of sessions, and is based on the approvals of the Ministry of Health. Final costs are determined after the treatment plan is completed.
Common side effects include skin reactions, anorexia, swelling, pain, hair loss, sore throat, fatigue, and nausea. Late side effects can include changes in skin shape and color, tenderness in ribs, and vomiting.
Eat small, frequent meals, avoid spicy and fatty foods, and drink fluids before or after meals (not during). Fresh air, light activities, and relaxation can help reduce nausea. If nausea persists, consult your radiotherapy specialist for medication.
Skin reactions like redness, dryness, and peeling are normal during radiotherapy. These changes usually appear 2-4 weeks after treatment starts and are not dangerous. Blisters and discharge may occur in sensitive areas.
Avoid tight clothing, rubbing, or scratching the treated area. Do not use lotions, perfumes, or ointments without consulting your doctor. Keep the area clean, avoid direct sunlight, and use prescribed creams immediately after treatment.
No, radiation is painless, and you won’t feel anything during each treatment session.
Advanced centers perform imaging during some sessions to ensure the patient's position is consistent with the treatment plan. This improves accuracy but may add time to the session. The first session is often the longest due to initial settings.
Yes, depending on your condition. Your doctor will advise you on the appropriate activity level during treatment.
No, radiotherapy uses external radiation that does not leave radioactive material in the body. It is safe for patients to be around others, including children and pregnant women.
Non-urgent dental procedures should be postponed. For necessary procedures, consult your doctor first. Tattoos should be avoided due to increased infection risk from a weakened immune system during chemotherapy.
Consult your doctor before taking vitamins or supplements, as some may interfere with chemotherapy. In certain cases, such as after stomach surgery, supplements may be needed.
Live vaccines should be avoided during chemotherapy. Inactivated vaccines may be used but may not be as effective. Always consult your doctor before getting any vaccine.
