Microplastics May Reduce Radiotherapy Effectiveness via Immune Changes
Microplastics may reduce the effectiveness of radiotherapy by altering the immune system. The study found that exposure to microplastics can lead to changes in the immune system, which can impact the body's ability to respond to cancer treatment. Radiotherapy is a common treatment for cancer, and it works by using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. However, the study suggests that exposure to microplastics may reduce the effectiveness of this treatment. The researchers found that microplastics can alter the immune system by changing the way that immune cells respond to cancer cells. This can lead to a reduced ability to respond to cancer treatment, making it more difficult to treat the disease.
