Marion County was created in 1844 from portions of Alachua, Mosquito (Orange), and Hillsborough counties. Until 1853, Marion County included most of what are now Lake and Sumter counties. In 1849, Putnam County was created and took the northeast portion of Marion.
Best Answer: Chemotherapy is basically targeting cancer cells to inhibit growth or for complete destruction, but healthy cells are also affected this way. Immunotherapy is basically strengthening the immune system to fight against infection. In relation to oncolgy, oncology patients are prone to infection (due to limited number of WBCs which fight off infections) and so they are given a boost for their immune system. Most oncology patients do not die from cancer itself but from acquired infection due to the body's inability to protect against it.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. It works by keeping the cancer cells from growing and dividing to make more cells. Because cancer cells usually grow and divide faster than healthy cells, chemotherapy destroys them more quickly than it destroys most healthy cells.Since the drugs used for chemotherapy are powerful, they cause damage to many growing cells, including some healthy cells.
