Isotopes that are unstable will emit radiation, which can be alpha particles , beta particles or gamma radiation. The radiation can be used to treat cancer in the case of cobalt-60, which emits gamma radiation. Cancerous cell are destryed by directing a contrlled beam of gamma radiation at the cells.
