Yes
Yes, radioactive isotopes are largely used for the treatment of cancer.
Doctors can use radioactive isotopes to treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer. Geologists use isotopes to date some rocks and fossils.
radioactive isotopes are used to detect medical problems and to treat some diseases.
Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of fossils. Radiation therapy for cancer comes from isotopes that emit gamma rays. Thyroid tissue that may be cancerous and has left the throat region can be located in the body with radioactive iodine.
sealed radioactive source means the radioactive isotopes which is encapsulated with a stainless steel to avoid higher LET radiation condamination .typically source may be used in brachytherapy to treat the cancer and unsealed source used to in nuclear medicine which is the radioactive source is not sealed examble IODINE131

Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
Radioactivity is indeed used to treat some types of cancer. Electron beams are used for surface cancers due to their lower energy. Proton beams and neutron beams are used to treat other hard to reach cancers. Carbon ion radiation is also sometimes used.
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
If a human is exposed to radiation the may get radiation sickness, and cancer (although it can be used to treat cancer)
Radioactive isotopes are made in reactors, and can be used both for diagnosis and treatment, especially of cancer.
