Yes, tumors can be effectively targeted and killed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to damage the DNA of cancer cells, leading to cell death, while chemotherapy employs drugs to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells throughout the body. The effectiveness of these treatments can vary depending on the tumor type, size, location, and the overall health of the patient. In many cases, a combination of both treatments is used to enhance efficacy and improve outcomes.
