By contrast, the NCI says, radiation such as the type from x-rays is high frequency and high energy and “can damage DNA (which) can cause changes to genes that may increase the risk of cancer.” Article content Investigators have studied whether the number of new cases of brain ...

In these cases radiotherapy is commonly given after initial surgery to remove the tumour, but there is some debate about whether this should be done immediately or used only if the cancer returns. It is known that radiation treatment in the brain causes some damage to normal tissue and the st...

Choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC) is a particularly challenging type of brain cancer. The tumor most commonly arises in infants under the age of one—who are too young to undergo radiation treatment. Only 40 percent of children remain alive five years after diagnosis, and those who do survive oft...
