The isotope astatine-211 was proposed for the radiotherapy of cancers.

operation to remove them
Chemotherapy and surgical removal.
Neutron therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses high-energy neutrons to treat certain types of cancers, such as certain types of brain tumors and salivary gland tumors. Neutron therapy targets and damages cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
RFA can be used to treat tumors that are too small or too inaccessible for removal by conventional open surgery.
Radiosurgery is used to treat small brain and spinal cord tumors. This procedure can save your life and is important for those who need to get rid of their tumors.
it kills tumor cells by breaking them apart
Astatine is an element with the symbol At.
Astatine has 125 neutrons
Depending upon the tumor, maybe. Poodles can get a wide variety of tumors ranging from osteosarcoma (bone tumors) to mast cell tumors to lypomas (fat cell tumors). Some tumors are benign and easy to treat - the veterinarian simply removes the tumor in toto and the poodle will be fine. Other tumors are malignant and difficult to treat - some spread very rapidly (often before the primary tumor is even found), some grow in difficult to reach places (such as in the skull or around the blood vessels) and some simply grow so fast they cause death before they are even found.
Some common compounds formed by astatine include hydrogen astatide (HAt), astatine monochloride (AtCl), astatine monobromide (AtBr), and astatine monoxide (At2O). Due to the scarcity and radioactive nature of astatine, its compounds are not commonly studied.
The color of the element astatine is unknown.
