Radiation most likely destroys cancer cells by inducing a process called?

∙ 9y ago
Radiation therapy primarily destroys cancer cells through a process called apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. When cancer cells are exposed to high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, it damages the DNA within the cells. This damage can lead to the activation of signaling pathways that trigger apoptosis, causing the cancer cells to die.
Radiation therapy is designed to target and kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues. By inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, radiation therapy aims to shrink tumors and reduce the spread of cancer throughout the body.

∙ 9y agoRadiation destroys cancer cells by inducing a process called treatment planning. Treatment planning is essential, because radiation can damage normal cells as well as cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA.

What is it called when radiation destroys atoms?
Ionization
Why central dogma called central dogma?
That was a somewhat satirical name Francis Crick gave to the process that he helped develop an elucidation of. There are no true dogmas in biology, though RNA -> DNA -> protein is very much the general process, reverse transcription rather " destroys " the central dogma.
Which best describes the process of radiation?
go onto google images and type in 'radiation diagram' look at second image with a cartoon sun in it- for that would be your answer
Heat from the solid mantle is released through a process called?
Radiation. For more details. contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.comanswer 2 Initially, the heat from the mantle will be carried by conduction to the upper layers, and eventually lost to the surface by radiation. Volcanoes may play a small part.
What is electron beam therapy also called?
It is sometimes called cobalt therapy, radiation therapy, x-ray therapy radiation treatment, radiotherapy, or irradiation

Radiation.
Process which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called?
This process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called radioactive decay. It also is called nuclear decay, and it is a natural process in which an atom of an isotope decomposes into a new element.

Earth receive heat from sun is called.?
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
The process by which heat energy is transmitted from the sun to the earth?
Radiation, called Solar Radiation. Radiant energy in produced in the sun by nuclear fusion.
What process is used when Thermal energy moving from the sun to earth?
The process used for the sun's heat energy to reach Earth is called thermal radiation. This electromagnetic radiation is caused by charged particles' motion in the Sun.
