The treatment relies on chemicals that destroy cells considered ill especially those of micro-organism origin or specific to cancer. In case of cancer, the two forms that are most often referred to are leukemia and lymphoma. There are also some cases in which the treatment is preferred even if the diagnosis is not cancer. In this case, the dosage of chemicals used in the procedure is lower and as a result side effects will be alleviated. Once someone is discovered with cancer, first of all it is important to determine the typology of the condition and the body part where the tumor spread from. Depending on these factors, all sorts of treatments can be combined for maximum of efficiency. In all, there are more that 200 types of cancer out of which some more commonly encountered forms affect breasts, the gall bladder, the larynx, the liver, the lungs, the lymph nodes, the ovaries, the skin and so on. Depending on on the type of cancer, doctors will prescribe either a singular medical compound or a cocktail of drugs for the treatment. In all, there are more than fifty drugs that are recommended worldwide in treatments. The manner in

which the drugs act against the disease is that they attack the cancerous cells which have the specific characteristic of dividing themselves very quickly and thus multiplying themselves at an incredible speed. Besides the mixing of drugs, doctors may also recommend that patients should combine treatment with other types of therapy (such as radiotherapy, hormonal or biological therapy) or with surgery. The problem with any treatment is in the ravages it causes among the healthy body cells. These adverse reactions are more or less intense depending on the drug concentration and the extent of the administration period. Therefore, even if they are displeasing, they are temporary, and at the end of the treatment one can be thankful for being alive. The first to suffer the impact of the treatment are the hair follicles, the bone marrow and the digestive lining. The is a common occurrence is hospitals and clinics particularly with the growing number of cancer sufferers. If it used to be something less known in the past, almost everyone knows something about cancer nowadays. Hopefully, none of us will need to go into further details!
