Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or other types of radiation aimed to prevent cancer cells from growing or kill them altogether. This kind of therapy can be administered to the patient externally or internally. With external radiation, a machine is used to send targeted radiation to the cancer site.
Advertisement suggesting that a healthy diet helps prevent cancer. Many dietary recommendations have been proposed to reduce the risk of cancer, few have significant supporting scientific evidence. [1] [2] [3] Obesity and drinking alcohol have been correlated with the incidence and progression of some cancers. [1]

In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”
