What Are the Benefits and Limitations of Mechanical and Physical Controls?
The application of mechanical and physical controls in cancer treatment offers several benefits, including:
Minimally invasive procedures that reduce recovery time and postoperative complications. Precise targeting of cancer cells, which minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Potential for outpatient treatments, reducing the need for extended hospital stays.
However, there are also limitations to consider:
Not all tumors are accessible or suitable for mechanical and physical treatments. Some techniques may require specialized equipment and expertise, which may not be widely available. Potential for side effects or complications, although these are often less severe than those associated with traditional treatments.
