∙ 14y agoCobalt 60,a radioactive isotope emitting gamma rays. These extremely high frequency electromagnetic waves are focused as much a is possible to the centre of the cancerous tumour(s). Another treatment is to introduce a tiny radioactive isotope directly into the tumour in order to concentrate the radiation within the tumour and limit damage to healthy surrounding tissue.

There is also, Colloidal Silver but I don't think it's actually subatomic.

Does micro wave used in motion sensor cause cancer?
Yes.
Why is radioactive iodine dangerous to humans?
Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize or remove electrons from an atom. When atoms in living cells become ionized one of three things usually happen - the cell dies, the cell repairs itself, or the cell mutates incorrectly and can become cancerous. Not all cells are affected by ionizing radiation in the same way. The cells that reproduce the most and are the least specialized are the most likely to be affected by ionizing radiation, for example those in a forming fetus. Radiation is effective as a cancer treatment because it can kill the cancer cells, however it can also kill or damage nearby cells. When radiation is used to treat cancer it must be pinpointed very carefully.
What type of electromagnetic wave that is used to kill bacteria on food?
Ultraviolet light.
How can gamma rays be used in medicine?
Gamma waves kill living things if sufficient exposure is allowed. Further, gamma rays (gamma radiation) will more effectively kill living cells that have high metabolic rates, like cancerous cells. When we expose cells, particularly cancerous ones, to gamma rays, the radiation tends to kill the cancer cells much more than living cells nearby. That makes gamma radiation a choice that might be considered for the treatment of some types of cancer.
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
gamma. also x-rays, but gamma is the most well known for it. they can both cause cancer x
What EM wave causes cancer?
Ultraviolet radiations cause cancer.
What kind of wave is used to kill bacteria in hospitals?
ultra violet waves
Which wave can see cancer treatments?
x-rays
Can a tidal wave kill you?
There is a 97% chance that you could get killed by a tidal wave.
Is tidal wave tsunami harmless?
No. They can easily kill.
Can a big enough wave kill you?
yes because there's a big enough wave all the gravity's force is pushing down and as soon as it hits there is a posibility that it can kill you
Pacemaker cells of the small intestine that regulate slow wave contractions are?
interstitial cells of Cajal
