: One method to [[Irradiating Tumours|irradiate tumours]] is to place a pellet of [[radioactive]] [[material]] into the centre of a [[tumour]]. This pellet is encased in a protective layer (to prevent [[Radioactive Contamination|contamination]]) of other [[tissue]]s. Once the pellet has destroyed the [[cancer]] [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] it can be removed.
: Another method is to send multiple beams of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]] from different directions so that they all cross over at the same point in the body (the location of the tumour). Where the beams cross over there will be a very high [[intensity]] of [[Ionising Radiation|ionising radiation]] which will destroy the [[tumour]].
