Cancer Center Facts. About 1,400 new cancer patients are treated here annually.. The Chemotherapy Nurses, Radiation Therapists ,Social Workers and Dietitians are specially trained/certified in Oncology.. Findings were statistically significant (strong evidence) + Evidence of a dose-response relationship (strongest evidence) Page Bone Cancer and Exposure to Ionizing R is a rare and aggressive CNS tumor usually presenting in very young . children (age less than 5 years). . Aggressive treatments have improved outcomes. Such strategies have included radiation . therapy as studies have demonstrated the benefit of instituting radiation early in the treatment course. . at . the NOAA .

Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation that is so powerful that it can remove electrons from atoms is called ionizing.. Examples of types of ionizing radiation are x-rays from medical machines and gamma rays from radioactive substances. .
