The technique used to treat cancer that involves subjecting the cancerous cells to electromagnetic radiations is known as radiation therapy
Explanation:
The radiation therapy commonly uses gamma rays to target cancer cells.
The DNA of the targeted cells is destroyed by continuous exposure to the radiation leading to a decrease in the size of the tumor.
Gamma radiations may also destroy healthy cells and are therefore focused only on the cancerous tissues.
