Question

How nuclear energy helps in curing cancer?

Answer 1

radiation therapy is a form of cancer therapy.

Answer 2

Nuclear energy ( radiation therapy) helps in curing cancer by "burning" or killing the cancer cells, or damaging them so that they cannot grow. The cancer cells MAY be more susceptible, but unfortunately, the normal cells nearby can be killed or damaged too, so there are limitations. Medical technology has improved so that the radiation can be more "focused" and avoid most normal tissue, but not all.
In addition to helping to cure cancer, radiation can cause it.

Answer 3

Radiation can cure cancer by concentrating a high dose of radiation directly
at the cancerous cells. Dividing cells are more susceptible to radiation than
nondividing cells. The radiation will kill dividing cancerous cells more readily
than healthy cells, which are less likely to be undergoing mitosis. Controlled
amounts of radiation, directed at concentrations of cancerous cells, do more
damage to the cancer than they do to the rest of the patient. A patient receiving
radiation therapy does experience the symptoms of radiation sickness, however.

Answer 4

Nuclear energy as such has not direct role in cancer treatment as of now.

Some of the radio active substances are used in Radiation Therapy for treatment of cancer.

As you may be aware, radio active substances are source of nuclear energy.

Answer 5

Depends on the tumor—some are more radiosensitive than others. The plan is to place or focus the greatest amount of nuclear energy on the cancer cells while exposing the least amount of healthy cells to the radioactivity..

Answer 6

Cancer cells multiply at a fast rate. The also can break off
and go through the lymph system and methods to reach
other organs. When they get to other organs, they keep
multiplying. The radiation and the chemo therapy is to
try and stop this replications and also to try to kill the cells.

However, they are now trying to find ways to cut off
the blood supply to these malignant tumors.

Answer 7

yes , it does in some forms of cancer. in nuclear medicine the radiation is given from inside the body ( in the form of tablet ). but radiation therapy comes under encology and not nuclear medicine.

Answer 8

Nuclear energy creates the problem to Humanbeing..sametime it helps to cure the problem also...

Answer 9

i think it causes cancer, not cures it
i mean, the nuclear radiation can be quite harmful

Answer 10

It kills the organism via cancer, so there is no longer any organism for cancer to grow in. Pretty effective solution.
