First, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain side effects on the body, which can not kill all cancer cells, but can only kill cancer cells in proportion. Residual cancer cells develop rapidly in the case of weak body and low immunity, forming new diseases

The most common complication is radiation nephritis or radiation nephropathy, such as renal cancer treated with radiotherapy, causing renal mucosal congestion, edema, ulcer or bleeding.
