Radiation
Radiation harms cells that are in the process of dividing – i.e. in mitosis
Since cancerous cells do not stay in interphase as long, they are more affected by radiation than healthy cells
Radiation can be focussed on tumour using a focussed beam or by implanting a radioactive source into the tumour

1) A treatment method usingdrugs that are activated byexposure to light.
2) Drug = photosensitizer That generates oxygen radicals when exposed to laser light.
3) Reactive oxygen species can directly kill cancer cells, or Cut off blood (and oxygen supply),which strangles the tumor.

ABCDE’s of Skin Cancer (3)
These are the general characteristics used to identify skin growths of possible concern A – asymmetry – one half doesn’t look like the
other B – border – irregular, ragged or blurred edges C – color – a mixture of colors or marks that
change color D – diameter – a growth more than 6
millimeters across E – evolution – changes in shape, size or color
