Radiotherapy is a treatment where ionizing radiation is used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours by damaging their DNA. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stop dividing or dies, and they are broken down and removed by the body. Radiotherapy uses low energy ionizing radiation that avoids deep tissue damage an minimises scarring. This makes it superior in treating superficial tumours, and an excellent alternative to surgery for skin cancer in sensitive locations, such as the folds of the nose, eyelids or ears.
Enteric diseases are intestinal illness caused by micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. These diseases are most frequently acquired through contaminated food and water. Although enteric micro-organisms typically enter the body through the mouth, some can spread from person to person. Every year, millions of cases of foodborne illness occur in the United States, and the illness burden is even higher in developing countries.* Much of this burden could be prevented with better science and prevention tools. * Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases – CDC.
