The effectiveness of chemotherapy in cancer treatment is determined by the cytotoxicity of the DNA damage that is induced by the chemotherapeutic agents. However, DNA damage is repaired through different biochemical systems, referred to as DNA repair pathways, and these dynamical repair processes can result in resistance to cancer therapies.

This is my honey at the Queen’s Hospital doing his last radiation treatment.

Radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells (not to be confused with radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis). Radiotherapy may be used for curative or adjuvant cancer treatment. It is used as palliative treatment (where cure is not possible and the aim is for local disease control or symptomatic relief) or as therapeutic treatment (where the therapy has survival benefit but is not curative). Total body irradiation (TBI) is a radiotherapy technique used to prepare the body to receive a bone marrow transplant. Radiotherapy has a few applications in non-malignant conditions, such as the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, severe thyroid eye disease, pterygium, prevention of keloid scar growth, and prevention of heterotopic bone formation. The use of radiotherapy in non-malignant conditions is limited partly by worries about the risk of radiation-induced cancers.
