Despite serious safety concerns, non-radioactive cesium is taken by mouth for treating cancer. This is sometimes called “high pH therapy.” According to people who promote high pH therapy, taking cesium chloride by mouth reduces the acidity of tumor cells (raises their pH), which are described...
cancerinbrachytherapy. Oralcesium chloridehas been used to treat cancers incomplementary medicine, on the basis of the hypothesis referred to as “high pH cancer therapy”, but there is no evidence of efficacy [1]. Itsadverse effectsinclude gastrointestinal distress, hypotension, numbness or tingling...

And while more research is still needed to understand more about the treatment, all of the studies have shown that using cesium-131 brachytherapy seeds for cancer therapy is encouraging. The authors of the 2016 study state that they are confident that “future studies will likely confirm these ...
Irradiation even with low or moderate doses may lead to health effects in the long run [53,54]. Radiation is associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality throughout the life of the victims depending on the absorbed dose [55]. As probability of cancer occurrence is enhanced, these ...
Thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography appears to have an important role in the staging of thyroid cancer. Nevertheless, although the majority of infiltrated radiodiagnostic agents have shown an insignificant skin radiation burden, it appears that thal- lium-201 has the potential to ...
industrial uses, for example, in moisture-density gauges, leveling gauges, thickness gauges, and well-logging devices in the drilling industry.137Ce is also used in cancer radiation therapy. Absorbed137Ce is uniformly distributed in soft tissues, with slightly higher levels in muscles and slightly ...
