I think chemotherapy.
What else can I help you with?
Is a cancer treatments a radio wave?
No, cancer treatments are not radio waves. They typically involve methods such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or targeted therapies, which aim to kill or control cancer cells. Radiation therapy, while it uses high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, is not the same as radio waves used in communication technologies. Instead, it focuses on damaging the DNA of cancer cells to inhibit their growth and division.
Does micro wave used in motion sensor cause cancer?
Yes.
What electromagnetic wave is used by an oncologist?
An oncologist typically uses ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays or gamma rays to treat cancer patients through a therapy called radiation therapy. This type of electromagnetic wave is used to target and destroy cancerous cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
What type of electromagnetic wave that is used to kill bacteria on food?
Ultraviolet light.
How can gamma rays be used in medicine?
Gamma waves kill living things if sufficient exposure is allowed. Further, gamma rays (gamma radiation) will more effectively kill living cells that have high metabolic rates, like cancerous cells. When we expose cells, particularly cancerous ones, to gamma rays, the radiation tends to kill the cancer cells much more than living cells nearby. That makes gamma radiation a choice that might be considered for the treatment of some types of cancer.
Why is radioactive iodine dangerous to humans?
Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize or remove electrons from an atom. When atoms in living cells become ionized one of three things usually happen - the cell dies, the cell repairs itself, or the cell mutates incorrectly and can become cancerous. Not all cells are affected by ionizing radiation in the same way. The cells that reproduce the most and are the least specialized are the most likely to be affected by ionizing radiation, for example those in a forming fetus. Radiation is effective as a cancer treatment because it can kill the cancer cells, however it can also kill or damage nearby cells. When radiation is used to treat cancer it must be pinpointed very carefully.
Which electromagnetic wave is most harmful to living things?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is considered the most harmful electromagnetic wave to living things as it can cause damage to skin cells, DNA, and increase the risk of skin cancer.
What EM wave causes cancer?
Ultraviolet radiations cause cancer.
What kind of wave is used to kill bacteria in hospitals?
ultra violet waves
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause damaging chemical changes in cells by inducing mutations in DNA, which can lead to skin damage or cancer. UV radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has enough energy to break chemical bonds in molecules within the skin cells.
Which wave can see cancer treatments?
x-rays
Can a tidal wave kill you?
There is a 97% chance that you could get killed by a tidal wave.
