Why exposure to radioactivity is used as a therapy to treat some kinds of cancer?

Radiation has the capacity to kill cells, both cancer cells and normal cells, but cancer cells are less healthy than normal cells, and they are more easily killed, so radiation can kill cancer cells while not killing the patient (although the patient will suffer side effects). Doctors are always looking for what is known as the "magic bullet" which is something that kills only cancer cells but does not harm normal cells; so far we have not found it. If we do invent a magic bullet, than radiation treatments will no longer be used.
