If you don’t have cancer, but were put trough radiation therapy, what are the odds you’d get cancer?
In: Other
Well it’s a very peculiar question but radiation therapy is used for non-cancerous treatments such as in treating tachycardia. In that case the dose of the therapy along with the angle the targeted cells will be hit at are carefully calculated to hit their mark and obliterate everything in a small area around it. The dose, area of treatment, and age of treatment will all play factors in developing cancer afterwards but by not having cancer in the first place you’re also less likely to develop cancer than someone who has already had it being treated with radiation. So in the end pretty slim as long as it’s a genuine therapeutic dose
