Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy, X-ray therapy, or irradiation) is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy can be administered externally via external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or internally via brachytherapy .
Radiation exposure such as ultraviolet radiation and radioactive material is a risk factor for cancer. Many non-melanoma skin cancers are due to ultraviolet radiation, mostly from sunlight. Sources of ionizing radiation include medical imaging and radon gas. Ionizing radiation is not a particularly strong mutagen.
Cancer is a type of disease in which cells grow abnormally and can spread and harm the body. The disease is mentioned throughout the Fallout series, with various people before and after the Great War having suffered from various types of cancer. Radiation, a common presence in the post-War...
Cancer Inducement. The Black King (Drifters) flooding the Bronze Dragon with cancer by manipulating his cells. Power/Ability to: Induce cancer. "Then how about we heal you from...Stage 4 stomach cancer?"" ― Zachariah to Dean Winchester (Supernatural S5E1: Sympathy for the Devil) "I wonder if I should kill you now...or just give you cancer."
Radiation therapy (also radiotherapy or radiation oncology) is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells (not to be confused with radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis).
Radiation is a more potent source of cancer when it's combined with other cancer-causing agents, such as radon gas exposure plus smoking tobacco. Unlike chemical or physical triggers for cancer, ionizing radiation hits molecules within cells randomly.
Radiation therapy or radiotherapy (RT, RTx, or XRT) is a treatment using ionizing radiation, generally provided as part of cancer therapy to either kill or control the growth of malignant cells. It is normally delivered by a linear particle accelerator.
