A pre-calculated dose of radiation is applied at a given time, a volume of tissue encompassing the tumor, seeking to eradicate all tumor cells, with the least possible damage to surrounding normal cells at the expense of which will make the regeneration the irradiated area.

This resistance occurs because the cell populations or develop new encoding gene (mutation) or because they are encouraged to develop cell types resistant to being exposed to drugs, allowing them to engage in alternative pathways through the synthesis of new enzymes.

These criteria are varied and depend on the patient’s clinical conditions and drugs selected for treatment. Below are listed some requirements ideal for the application of chemotherapy:

The normal structures that renew themselves constantly, as bone marrow, hair and mucosa of the gut are also affected by the action of chemotherapy.

However, because normal cells have an expected recovery time, unlike the anaplastic cells, it is possible that chemotherapy is applied repeatedly, since the observed time interval required for the recovery of bone marrow and the lining of the gut. For this reason, chemotherapy is applied in periodic cycles.

The cytotoxic are not lethal to tumor cells selectively. Differences between the growth of malignant cells and normal cells and small biochemical differences observed between them probably combine to produce their specific effects.
