radiation
Radiation therapy uses radiation from radioactive elements to destroy cancer cells. It works on the principle that cancer cells are more active than normal cells and more prone to radiation damage than normal cells.
Radiopharmaceuticals are administered primarily for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. They emit radiation that can be detected by specialized imaging equipment, allowing for the visualization of physiological processes, tissue function, and disease states within the body. Additionally, some radiopharmaceuticals are used to target and treat specific conditions, such as cancer, by delivering targeted radiation to diseased cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. This dual role enhances both diagnosis and treatment in medical practice.
Ziprasidone is used to treat Tourette syndrome
Negative of the radio are the radiation effects that affect of radiation Two ways in which radiation can hurt people are radiation poisoning and cancer from radiation. Radiation poisoning occurs when a person is exposed to large amounts of radiation. to get an idea of how much 300 rem is, it might help to know that we are exposed to about 0.2 rem each year just by living our normal lives. A person who received 300 rem, A unit for measuring absorbed doses of radiation, equivalent to one roentgen of x-rays or gamma rays,( roentgen -a unit measuring a radiation dose) if untreated, will probably die soon after of radiation poisoning.
Tuba-tuba, or jatropha curcas, has been used by Filipinos to treat muscle pain, sprains, rheumatism, arthritis, stomach ache, snake bites, and sores. Additionally, the sap of the plant is believed to have anti-cancer properties.
If a human is exposed to radiation the may get radiation sickness, and cancer (although it can be used to treat cancer)
Radiation and chemotherapy used to treat the cancer kills the hair roots.
"No, radiation therapy is only used to treat people who have cancer. The radiation part of this kind of therapy is there to destroy off cancer cells. If someone used radiation therapy or anything else it would make them very ill, and more than likely be fatal to them since they would not have cancer, the radiation would get rid of their good healthy cells."
Radiation also is used in the treatment of patients with metastatic disease. It is particularly useful in shrinking metastatic colon cancer to the brain.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation from x rays and gamma rays to kill the cancer cells.
Surgery, radiation, and sound, are used to treat cancer.
Spiderman was endowed with superpowers because of radiation.
Radiation is energy transfer by electromagnetic waves.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other sources of radiation to destroy cancer cells in the affected area. In the case of colorectal cancer, radiation therapy may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor, after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells, or to relieve symptoms in advanced cases.
Radiation therapy is typically used to treat certain types of skin conditions; as well as certain types of cancer.
Yes it is. Sometimes by itself and other times in combination with chemotherapy.It is ver effective in treating many types of cancer.
Both are used and can prove to be very effective. A hysterectomy can also be performed.
