2. May be used to shrink a tumor too large for surgical removal, allowing removal after radiation
3. For regional lymph nodes after tumor removal
4. For palliative treatment in advanced cancer for relief of tumor related symptoms
5. To treat oncologic emergencies such as superior vena cava syndrome
Risks of bone marrow aspiration - (ANSWER)Bleeding
Make sure to hold pressure on the site for 5-10 minutes
External radiation - (ANSWER)most common type of radiation and delivers rays to designated area of the
