Chemotherapy exacerbates cancer, scientists warn

Treatment is often viewed as the first alternative for breast cancer patients to contract tumors and even strike the disease completely.

However, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of New York Medicine have found evidence that this is only a short - term solution.

Their research suggests that although chemotherapy contracts tumors, another port is opened for tumors, which are distributed into the blood, making its growth faster and is also stronger.

Without chemotherapy treatment, cancer becomes too difficult to treat often fatal once it spreads into other organs; then it is classified as Stage 4.

The lead author of this study, Dr George Karagiannis, says the findings published on Wednesday should not prevent patients from seeking treatment, but suggests that a way is developed to better monitor tumor movement in patients subject to chemotherapy. /Albanian
