1. Chemotherapy directly active rapidly dividing cells (cancer and normal cells) like putting
out a fire. Can cause water damage to rooms that were unattected by the
fire (normal cells). Patient experiencing symptoms in areas of the body
with rapidly dividing cells (mouth sores, hair loss, N/V, etc.)
2. Targeted therapy employs targets found on the surface of cells to kill the cancer cells. A
more refined sprinkler system to target the rooms with fires in them,
leaving the unattected rooms dry. Side ettects are more contained but
can still impact normals cells if they share the same components as
the targeted cancer cells. Not every cancer has targets or targeted
therapy drugs that can treat it
3. Immunotherapy cancer can hide from the natural immune system of the body by
disguising itself or finding pathways to avoid the bodies immune
system. Utilizes and enhancing the bodies immune system to better
identify and attack the cancer. Like buildings automatically shutting all
their doors during a fire to slow the spread, or setting ott alarms to
alert the dire department. It too many "firefighters" wnd up on the
scene, you could still end up with water unnecessary water damage.
Symptoms are more unpredictable and can can progress to become
more severe. Not every patient is a good candidate for immunotherapy
or don't end up having a positive response to the treatment.
