cancer radiation therapy  

Définition

  • Cancer radiation therapy uses ionizing rays such as X-rays, gamma rays, or nuclear particles to kill cells by inhibiting their ability to divide. The control of the rays involved has become very precise and medical practitioners are skilled at shielding the other cells of the body from being affected by the radiation, because it kills all types of cells indiscriminately.
