Most of the cancer treatments are synonymous with pain. Treatments like Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and surgery can have their side effects too. But with the advent of new types of cancer treatments pain in cancer treatments can be a thing of the past.

Some of the side effects that can be felt in the traditional form of treatment are feeling very tired and weak, more susceptible to infections and getting bruised easily. But there are new forms of treatment such as IPT – Insulin Potentiation Therapy that does not have any side effects. This is a treatment in which Insulin is used and this treatment is reported to be gentler, safer, more effective and less expensive. Also, a new chip has been developed for cancer treatment. This glass chip performs a diagnostic test that allows abnormalities in chromosomes that hold vital genetic information, to be located. The chip allows doctors to assess the effectiveness of cancer treatment and to determine if cancer is returning after remission.

With so many breakthroughs happening in cancer treatment, it need not be painful anymore but one needs to be aware of the line of treatment one needs and what would be the likely side effects.
