Effects of Radio-chemotherapy in Cancer Patients by Muhammad Younis, Sana Shaikh (ereader with android .txt) 📕

value of age for male control sample and male patients samples was 34.8+7.2 and 40.5+9.4, and mean value of height for male control samples and male patients samples was 166.0+4.5 and 161.7+9.0.Which indicates that height is low in cancer patients than in normal.

While mean value of weight for male control sample and male patient samples is 62.9375+5.3 and 54.33+7.8.which indicates that weight is low in cancer patients than normal.

                                                                                                Table-3.17, shows the mean values, t-test values, and p-values of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. Mean value of systolic blood pressure for male control sample and male patient sample was 125.7+5.9 and 126.6+4.9.The t-value and p-value of systolic blood pressure was 0.24 and 0.8.

And mean value of diastolic blood pressure for male control sample and male patients sample is 79.5+3.2 and 85+6.3.This shows that systolic and diastolic blood pressures is higher in male cancer patients as compared to normal males.

While mean value of pulse rate for male control sample and male patients samples was 81.06+6.5 and 76.3+2.8. While t-value and p-value of pulse rate was 0.74 and 0.5. This shows pulse rate was lower in male cancer patients as compared to normal males.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Table: 3.18

                                                                                                Table-3.18, shows the mean values, t-test values, and p-values of platelets count for male control samples and male patients samples is 219031.2+118716.8 and 130608.3+78443.3.The t-value and p-value for platelet count was 4200.86 and 0.001.      

            This shows that mean value of platelets was higher in male cancer patients as compared to normal males.                       

 

CONCLUSION

 

The survey work was carried out to see the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the blood of cancer patients.

 

The result makes clear that the weight of cancerous patients was decline than the average persons and the height of cancerous patients was bringing down as compared to normal.

 

The Blood pressure of cancer patients (Systolic andDiastolic) was raise and pulse rate was decreases than the normal.

 

The results indicates that  RBC had no significant difference but Hb had low value as compared to normal value due to devalue of oxygen pressure In tumor and WBC ( neutrophils and lymphocytes)  decrease in cancer patients .

 

Eosinophils , monocytes and basophils  had greater value as

compared to normal.

 

MCV, MCH and MCHC had turn down values  than standard value.

 The out come provide evidence for Platelets had low value the normal.
