Question: what is ionizing radiation and what cancer does it gives
Brief Answer:
Used in radiation therapy to treat tumors and leukemia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves (gamma or X-rays) or particles (neutrons, beta or alpha). It is used in radiation therapy to treat tumors and leukemia.
High amount or long time exposure to ionizing radiations are linked with what we describe as solid cancers (most sarcoma and carcinoma) and blood cancers.
