                       (especially in breast, brain, nerve, and bone) manifest later with

                       other illnesses.

                   •  Secondary cancers are common as an after effect of radiation
                       therapy, such as leukemia and more tumors.  These will not show

                       up immediately but, in most cases, will become manifest within a

                       five-year period.


               In conclusion, the use of radiation therapy in itself is effective but can

               be quite harmful and can cause more problems later on.
               Radiation therapy is rarely used on its own, as it has a set purpose to

               temporarily shrink a tumor and kill some cancer cells in preparation for
               surgery or as an adjunct therapy with chemotherapy, as we will now

               discuss.


               #3- Chemotherapy/Systemic Drugs

               Because of the limitations from an external process, such as surgery or

               radiation, systemic drugs have been designed to affect the entire body

               when it comes to cancer.


               However, they themselves are still lacking sufficient punch, as it were,
               to eradicate cancer and must be used in a combination of therapies.

                                                                   Systemic therapy is another way
