Answers:
Since cancer is the refusal of cells to die yet reproducing, radiation is a way to convince those cell to die.
Radiation therapy injures or destroys cells in the nouns being treated (the “target tissue”) by damaging their genetic material, making it impossible for these cell to continue to grow and divide.
