Learn when a cancer cell dies and how it is eliminated by the immune system cells
This depends on the type of tumor. In some radiation-sensitive tumors, the cell dies within hours of treatment. Some of them cause damage that causes them to remain alive even after the end of treatment. But with the growth cycle that varies from one cell to another, you are surprised by the presence of a defect in the genetic code of the DNA, so the cell dies and the tumor shrinks.
This explains why some patients notice that the tumor does not shrink completely after the end of treatment. Rather, it takes weeks to completely disappear. Millions of cells die every day and the body gets rid of them in different ways, for example, they fall out of the body and are devoured by cells of the immune system. In some cases, fibrosis forms as a scar.
