University of Cambridge - Three CT scans 'kick-start' cancer

CT (computed tomography) is supposed to be a safe screening technology—but researchers have discovered that the radiation from just three scans makes cells 'cancer-ready'.

As CT radiation doesn't damage DNA, radiologists have been told the technology is safe—but instead the scans alter healthy cells and make them 'cancer-capable', which means they make cancer more possible.

Radiation from just three CT scans is enough to increase the risk, say researchers from the University of Cambridge, and create mutations in cells—known as p53 mutations—that make cells more liable to become cancerous.
