Cobalt 60 teletherapy irradiation in patients at breast carcinoma and cervix carcinoma will impact on the bone marrow, which sensitive to radiation and have an important function in haemopoetic system. The decrease in blood cell level will be seriously affected if not treated immediately, because the blood has an important role to the human body functions such as immunity, oxygenation, homeostasis, and other roles. The study of âThe Effect Of Radiotherapy On Blood Cell Production In Patients With Breast Carcinoma And Cervix Carcinomaâ was conducted by observing the patients medical record with cases breast carcinoma and cervix carcinoma. The results showed that trombocyte and leukocyte cells have a significant changes after radiation exposure, whereas erythrocytes and haemoglobin showed not significant response. In patients with breast carcinioma, leukocyte production decrease to 38.93%, trombocyte decrease to 29.96%, erythrocytes increase to 4.72% and haemoglobin increase to 4.24%. In patients with cervix carcinoma, leukocytes decrease to 38.3%, trombocyte decrease to 22.53%, erythrocytes decrease to 4.66% and haemoglobin decrease to 4.07%. The effects of Cobalt 60 teletherapy irradiation can be used as a material consideration in the planning of radiotherapy irradiation thus increasing the success ratio of radiotherapy.
