The statement that is true about the use of radiation to treat cancer is that only powerful X-rays can be used. The radiation used for cancer treatment is known as ionizing radiation. These forms ions in the cells which could kill or stop them from growing. This type of radiation is have more energy than radio waves, microwaves and visible light.
