Prostate Cancer |
Radiation from a Patient Undergoing Radiation Therapy08/06/2008 |
Does radiation treatment for prostate cancer induce any radioactivity in the patient? Is it safe to be near a person who is having radiation therapy (after treatment)?
Radiation therapy does not make a person radioactive and thus they are not a risk factor to anyone else, period.
