Cancer log kill : Let us first know what is log eg 10 number log is 1 for 100 the log number 2 similarly for 1000 Log number 3 .
Now what is log kill it is hypothesis used in relation to capacity of chemotherapy in cancer killing generally 2-3 .
What is the base ? Earliest dignosis of cancer is possible when cancer cells number is 10to the power of 9 wt of cancer cells is just 1gm .but with exponential growth it would be 10to the power of 12 weighing 1kg a critical stage .
Let us calculate the cancer log kill of patient with 10 to the power 9 even if cancer kill is log 3 the cancer cells would remain 10to the power of 6 and in the next cycle the cancer cells would be killed again 3log ie caccer cells would remain still 10 to the power of 3 .In next chemotherapy would kill almost all cancer cells except one
But cacer would not behave mathematically alone some new cancer cells would add to the remaining cacer cells some cancer cells would resist chemotherapy agents .
The above briefing helps to understand the need for multiple chemotherapy cycles.
