Detailed content of an Interest:
Breast Cancer
The uncontrolled and excessive proliferation of the cells that make up breast is called breast cancer. It is the most common cancer in women. Breast cancer is one of the most studied and most treatable cancer types by doctors. There are a wide variety of treatment methods available, depending on the progression of cancer. The chance of cure is higher in the early stages of cancer. In addition to surgical removal of cancerous tissue, very high success can be achieved with radiotherapy (radiation, radiation therapy) and chemotherapy (intravenous drugs). The administration of radiotherapy with the advanced technology devices and by experienced doctors will greatly reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and increase the patient's quality of life.
