Read the box What if... “X-Rays-Dangerous or Helpful?" in this chapter. Like X-rays, gamma rays are used in medicine in both diagnosis and treatment. One of their uses is in cancer therapy to irradiate and destroy tumors. However, the dose usually required is fairly high, so high that it increases the risk of future cancers by about 1%. Explain why this is justified.
