radiotherapy and radiation sickness
"Radiotherapy is a medical treatment that uses high-energy radiation to destroy or shrink tumors and cancer cells in the body. It is commonly used in cancer treatment to target and kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Radiation sickness, on the other hand, refers to a condition that occurs when a person is exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation. This can result in a range of symptoms, such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and damage to organs and tissues. The severity of radiation sickness depends on the dose and duration of exposure."
