The reason for this is a little bit of radiation damages your DNA causing the cells to go haywire, whereas a lot of radiation kills the cells outright.
So if you get cancer, you blast the cancer cells with radiation to wipe them out. The radiation is targeted so you don’t wipe out healthy cells.
What that means is that high energy particles deposit little energy at first, but as they gradually slow down they deposit more and more. There is a peak where most of the energy is deposited, depending on the starting energy and density of material (tissue). This is called the Bragg Peak and having non-constant (range of) starting energies you can specify a range of dosage deposition instead of a single point.
If you think this is obvious satire, then I have to wonder when was the last time you actually spoke to an average human person? There are people on this site who would unironically say something like that
I remember a website by some guy experimenting with terminal cancer in himself. He’d eat gold particles and microwave himself with a DIY device made from a microwave oven.
It was several years ago, so I think we would have heard of he was successful.
So let me get this straight. Radiation causes cancer. But radiation also cures cancer. Do you guys seriously believe this shit?
/s because I’ve written more obvious satire before, only to be interpreted seriously
When people need help after injuries from a knife, what happens? Surgeons go at them with little knives. What a scam.
You know what they say - when the only tool you have is a knife, all your problems get stabbed.

How are they able to target cancer cells?
Very carefully.
Literally, it’s like they aim a laser at it
With physics.
The particles lose energy roughly depending on their inverse velocity(=>energy) squared

With shit like this
They focus the photon beams onto the affected area.

I’m not sure what makes you think people on this site would be smarter than average
