There is no doubt that ionizing radiation can and does cause cancer in humans. Radioactive atoms produce ionizing radiation when they decay and most carcinogens contain some radioactive atoms. This paper presents the case that many cancers are ultimately caused by the ionizing radiation resulting from radioactive decay. This proposition is supported by the observation that the histology of cancers known to be caused by radiation are indistinguishable from the histology of cancers currently not considered to be related to radiation.

Do biopsies cause prostate cancer to spread?

There is no evidence showing that the biopsy will spread prostate cancer if cancer is present. And even if it was the case that a biopsy may spread the cancer, the benefits of detecting the cancer far outwieghs the possibility of the cancer being spread around. I mean, finding out that there is cancer means that treatment can commence. By not finding out that you have cancer, it will still eventually spread all on its own anyway.
