- W3000677020 abstract "Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the principal modalities of treatment of cancer. Each is chosen in accordance with the type and stage of the disease, and each has its benefits and risks. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy have the advantage of reaching tumors and cells that are inaccessible to surgery (or, because of their location or wide dissemination, that cannot be surgically removed), these forms of treatment may exert damaging effects on organ systems outside the intended targets. The lympho-reticular system is usually affected and as a consequence the immune mechanism may become impaired. In the past, immunologically compromised patients have often succumbed to the onslaught of severe infections even though their tumors were being restrained or eradicated by the therapeutic intervention. Fortunately, information about toxic and immunosuppressive effects of various therapeutic agents, the introduction of new agents in recent years, and the development of combinations of drugs have made possible more prudent utilization of these agents for maximal therapeutic benefits with relatively minimal undesirable effects. Nevertheless, chemotherapy and extensive radiotherapy continue to pose risks to the patient and further improvements in the management of cancer patients will in large measure depend on the acquisition of more knowledge about the effects of old and new therapeutic agents." @default.
