Which treatment is instituted in a cancerous patient? a. Antibiotic treatment b. Gene therapy c. Radiotherapy d. Both b and c e. a, b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. both b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And if there is not bothbandc option, it will be Radiotherapy because gene therapy is still in experimental stage?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*there is no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not an expert, but I would say e) a, b and c. My grandmother is still fighting the afteraffects of mouth cancer, and she still recieves antibiotics. A LOT actually. I also know gene therapy can be done, and obviously radiotherapy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Antibiotic would be a good answer, because cancer and the use of chemicals and or radiotherapy will normally knock out the inmune system.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gene therapy is still experimental tho....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go for D....A could be considered as an "additive" if you will...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does radiotherapy harm the immune system? if so, then one may be vulnerable to infection...i could see them administering antibiotics too...possibly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Antibiotic will have no effect on cancer, mate :/ or so I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually it DEPENDS, on what type of cancer the patient has, it is very different a patient with lung cancer, that a patient with epidermoid cancer, so the answers would be, Radiotherapy, Gene Therapy, and Quimo... antibiotics are used in some cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first thing first, I was wrong: radiotherapy can knockout the inmune system but only in high doses.... And yes, antibiotics won't have an effect on cancer, but considering the fact that chemotherapy will knock out inmune system. Add a weak body to the equation due to other medications and the cancer itself, i don't see antibiotics as something trivial..... But for the sake of the question, NO ANTIBIOTICS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Agree with Rbolio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but in this case the answer is D: both B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i got it. thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good Luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f) chemotherapy. seriously, what class is this for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um it's a college entrance exam

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D.
