Cancer Treatment: Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for cancer, either as a standalone therapy or in combination with other treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy. It is used to treat various types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and many others.
Cell Destruction: Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. However, they can also affect normal cells in the body that divide rapidly, such as those in the bone marrow, digestive tract, hair follicles, and mouth. This can lead to side effects such as bone marrow suppression (resulting in low blood cell counts), gastrointestinal symptoms, hair loss, and mucositis (inflammation of the mucous membranes).
Side Effects: Chemotherapy can cause a range of side effects, which vary depending on the specific drugs used, the dosage, and individual patient factors. Common side effects may include nausea and vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, loss of appetite, diarrhea or constipation, mouth sores, changes in taste or smell, neuropathy (nerve damage), and cognitive changes (sometimes referred to as "chemo brain").
Immunosuppression: Chemotherapy can suppress the immune system, making patients more susceptible to infections. This is due to the impact on the bone marrow, where white blood cells responsible for fighting infections are produced. Patients undergoing chemotherapy may be advised to take precautions to reduce their risk of infections and may receive medications to support their immune function.
Hematologic Toxicity: Chemotherapy drugs can cause hematologic toxicity, leading to low blood cell counts. This includes anemia (low red blood cell count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count), and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). These conditions can increase the risk of bleeding, infections, and fatigue.
Long-term Effects: Some chemotherapy drugs may have long-term effects on various organ systems, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and reproductive system. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential to detect and manage any potential long-term complications.
Psychosocial Impact: Chemotherapy treatment can have significant psychosocial impacts on patients, including emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and changes in body image. Patients may benefit from supportive care services, such as counseling, support groups, and integrative therapies, to address these challenges.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
