Cancerous cells can be easily destroyed by radiations due to:
Cancerous cells can be easily destroyed by radiations due to:
rapid cell division
lack of nutrition
fast mutation
lack of oxygen
Solution
Cancer cells rapidly undergo mitosis. Cancer cells which divide rapidly are less organized than healthy cells. Cancerous cells can easily be destroyed by radiation due to the ability of radiations to kill cells is highest in the tissue with highest number of dividing cells. Hence, tumours are killed more rapidly by radiations.
