Cancer is DNA damage and the ability for the cell not to stop replicating, once this is done, they can metastasis and go throughout the body. Radiation goes on the fact that cancer cells because they have no machinery to stop there cell cycle they are more susceptible to DNA damage. It can also make the cancer more difficult to treatment by having resistance by mutability to therapeutic drugs, this is because the tumor is so heterogenous.

What are uses in medicine for radiation?
Some cancers are treated with radiation.
Are Stage II rectal cancers treated with radiation?
Most Stage II and Stage III rectal cancers are treated with radiation and possibly chemotherapy prior to surgery
How often is cancer treated with surgery?

What cancers were treated by polonium and radium?
Polonium is not used for the treatment of cancers. Radium is used to treat bone cancers.
When is chemotherapy used to treat cervical cancer?
Most often it is used following surgery or radiation treatment. Stages IIB, III, IV, and recurrent cervical cancers usually are treated with a combination of external and internal radiation and chemotherapy.
What are cancers of the epithelium?
Cancers of the epithelium are carcinomas that originate from epithelial cells, which are found in the skin, lining of organs, and glands. Common examples include breast, lung, prostate, and colon carcinomas. These cancers are typically treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
What is the effective treatment for Tonsil cancer?
Most cancers can be treated with a mixture of chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and/or surgery. www.webmd.com would be a good place to look for more detailed answers.
What cancers can radiation cure?

What is the amount of blood flow through the svc in 1 min?
Liver cancer is treated the same way most other cancers are treated, which usually includes radiation and/or chemotherapy. Sometimes prescription medications can help alleviate symptoms or discomfort.
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.
How is radiation used as medicine?
Some of the medical machines use radiation and cancer treatments still use radiation as part of killing the cancers.
What carcinogen is responsible for causing the most cancers?
Cigarette smoke
