[Characteristics of protein metabolism changes in oncology patients with surgical and combined treatment]
Abstract:
Combined approach (surgery and chemotherapy) have been acknowledged as the optimal treatment scheme in oncology. The purpose of this case study was to detect and compare the changes in metabolism emerging in combined treatment method for the purpose of working out, later, a therapeutic correction scheme to correct such changes. Two groups of patients, 20 subjects in each, were examined to establish a basic higher degree of the protein-and-energetic insufficiency and a changed immune response, due to which metabolism in patients with combined treatment normalizes slower than in patient with surgical treatment. Special scheme, worked out for the purpose, are needed to correct the progressing lesions.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
