Cornell studies warn you that “unnecessary radiation exposures should be avoided and continued vigilance is required to ensure that the benefits associated with specific procedures outweigh the future risks.”

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered that radiation exposure can alter cells’ microenvironment (the environment surrounding cells). And that greatly raises the odds future cells will become cancerous. The study indicated that “ionizing radiation can promote the outgrowth of epigenetically altered cells with pre-malignant potential.”
The reason is that signals from a cell’s microenvironment, a
