Hematological study of cancer patients with radio-chemotherapy

Abstract Cancer is a complex disease with multiple triggers and high mortality rate all over the world. Currently Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and invasive surgeries are in vogue for cancer therapeutics. There are certain delicate parts where the invasive surgeries are a great deal of risk; therefore we only need to rely on chemo and radiotherapy either separately or combined. These therapies in return highly compromise the patient’s life quality as adverse effects. Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate the radio and chemotherapy effects on the various blood cells correlated properties i.e. anemia, thrombocytopenia and leucopenia etc. Our results suggest that radiation and chemotherapy cause decrease in thrombocytes and leukocytes count in cancer treated patients. Total 80 samples were measured by hematological analyzer and found a significant decrease in the hematological parameters (thrombocytes, total leukocyte count, cell volume, and hemoglobin) mean values in cancer treated patients when compared to the healthy individuals. It was concluded that radio-chemotherapy have some serious adverse effects on the health and normal physiology of cancer patients.
