The important effect is that it induces DNA damage. This can be beneficial when treating cancer with radiation therapy, but radiation therapy is carcinogenic in itself.
It certainly can have wide spread effects, particularly close to the site of radiation.
It is sometimes called radiation therapy, radiation therapy, cobalt therapy, electron beam therapy, or irradiation
Radiation therapy is delivered via external radiation or via internal radiation therapy (the implantation/injection of radioactive substances).
Radiation Therapy is not transferred to clothing.
Radiation therapy is a local treatment

In external radiation therapy a beam of radiation is directed from outside the body at the cancer
Radiation Therapy dose is measured in Gray (abbrev. Gy).
Prostate cancer responds well to radiation therapy
