Avoid Chemotherapy and it's Side Effects
Cancer cells multiply fast and chemotherapy-drugs are designed to kill these fast-growing cells. Unfortunately, these drugs pass through the entire body and kill all fast-growing cells including the healthy ones. This affects the internal functioning of the body, leading to further complications. Some of the significant side effects of chemotherapy include:
- Hair loss
- Anaemia (low red blood cell counts)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Infections
- Diarrhea
- Mouth, tongue, and throat problems such as sores and pain while swallowing
- Urine, bladder, and kidney problems
- Weight loss
- Fertility problems
- Skin and nail changes
CanAssist Breast determines the patient’s risk of breast cancer recurrence over five years, classifying patients as ‘low-risk’ or ‘high-risk.’ The 'low-risk' patients’ can possibly avoid the side effects of chemotherapy and personalize their cancer treatment.
