Study Reveals Ways To Combat Anaemia Caused By Radiation Therapy
When breast cancer is treated with radiation, the body is assaulted twice: once by the disease and once by the therapy.
A new study shows how women fighting breast cancer can easily and safely alleviate some of the harshest effects of radiation therapy. Red blood cells deliver oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Anaemia occurs when the red blood cell count becomes depleted, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and hair loss in extreme cases. The two primary causes of anaemia are: 1) iron deficiency (often triggered by menstruation or internal bleeding), and 2) deficiency of two key vitamins: folate and vitamin B-12. Radiation therapy also causes anaemia.
