Discussion Post

Overview

A patient is diagnosed with inoperable cancer, and recommended to receive treatment of a drug that reduces the rate of cell division.

A. Why could reducing the rate of cell division be helpful in treating cancer?

B. How might this drug affect the patient’s white blood cell count?

C. How might the patient’s environment be altered to compensate for these changes in WBC counts?

Please have a 50 word response at least.

Please respond to two student replies with at least 50 words as well. Will post part 2 after part 1 as I cannot access part 2 until Part 1 is submitted.
