A cancer cell contains high amounts of iron, that's why they grow so fast.When you radiate them by bombarding them with radio waves the iron in the cells heat up quickly and destroy the cancer cells, but this also affects the other parts in the body like the head, that's why your hair falls out when you get the treatment done a few times.
I hope this answer has been of much use.
Yes, radioactive isotopes are largely used for the treatment of cancer.
It is possible for gold to cure cancer. Gold might be used to fund the research that eventually finds the cure for cancer.
The radiation itself is not the cure. Radioactive radiation is dangerous and kills cells and potentially causes cancer. The radiation is used to kill the cells comprising the cancer (and some of the cells round the cancer). The treatment is very brutal (it makes the patient very ill for a time) but, where the cancer can not be cut out surgically the radiation beams can sometimes be used and in this case, while using them is dangerous, their use can be beneficial in the long run.
Yes
Yes
Radioisotopes
Graviola is a small tree used to make medicine. It contains many chemicals that work against cancer but is not proven to cure cancer.
cobalt
Chemotherapy
Now, polonium is not used in medical treatment.
It can be cure CANCER and DIEBETES.
Radium was used in the past as a radioactive source in the radiotherapy of some cancers.
