There are many ways that there has been exploration for cancer research, the exploration has lead to many milestones such as new treatment plans, new types of cancer, new developments of it. Radiation is a type of cancer treatment that has been explored and discovered. In 1986 a professor started playing around with xrays to try to see what he could do. Xrays are a form of radiation. In the beginning of the 20th century radiation was found to be a method of curing cancer/ making it slightly better; throughout many tests along with radiation can come the fallback of having cancer start in a different type of the body; have new cancers form. Many different scientists in the beginning/ late 19, 20th centuries would test the strength of radiation by testing it on their arm. Explorations of new types of technology for cancer radiation in the mid 20th century helped doctors know precisely what to do whenever a patient needed radiation. This exploration of treatment led to many people reducing how bad their cancer was. Chemotherapy is also another type of cancer treatment; this was explored during World War 2. 1956 was the first time a doctor tried to use this exploration and apply to it to one of their patients. After this within the next decade chemotherapy cured a mans testicular cancer. An exploration of new drugs current day help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, along with chemo comes many serious side effect such as a constant feeling of feeling sick, tiredness, lack of energy, loss of hair. These are examples of exploration of treatment plans that have created a long term effect on people's stage of cancer. Current day statistics shows that 2 out of 3 people will survive cancer and overcome it with the use of radiation and chemotherapy.
