Chemotherapy, which is accepted worldwide as the treatment of choice for many cancers, has been recently alleged to be actually the reason for the spread of cancer. This shocking discovery was published recently in leading magazines like the Telegraph and Science Translational Medicine. Those who receive chemotherapy drugs have an increased number of so called 'entry points' in their blood vessels that can be used by cancer cells to get into the blood flow and spread throughout the body. A study in mice with breast cancer demonstrated that chemotherapy does shrink the primary tumour but it increases the number of cancer cells in the lungs and circulating body. This information will definitely be of interest to many in the healthcare field, especially to chemo nurses who administer chemotherapy and deal with patients suffering from various cancers.
Such updated information is routinely presented to nurses who undergo the NCLEX Examination which is a licensure examination for nurses who seek to work in the United States and Canada. In Jalandhar, Knowledge Icon happens to be the Best Institute for NCLEX Coaching.
