Radiation can cure almost all cancers only at their very earlystages when the amount of cancer cells is very small and they have still not entered the blood stream.

How do you cure a horse with cancer?

This depends upon the cancer - the source cells, the location, the invasiveness, etc. Some cancers can be cured with simple surgery - cut out the tumor and the horse is fine. Other cancers can be beaten into submission with radiation therapy and chemotherapy, similar to what humans receive (although the doseage is different and side effects like diarrhea and hair loss are minimized). Still other cancers have no cure - they are progressive and fatal.

How does radioactivity spread cancer?

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.
