It's really strange to me how radiation can both cause cancer (melanoma) and also be used to treat various cancers

The enemy is fought with their own weapons, cancer cells are not easy to eliminate, and there is nothing that will surely eliminate them, that is why they are fought with the same generator to kill them.

What radiation does is destroy the DNA of cancer cells. In this way, it seeks to destroy the cell as such, many times it succeeds or at least delays its growth.

What is sought with radiation is to damage the cell, in this way they prevent it from continuing to multiply and die over time, the problem is that it is not a precisely targeted treatment and it not only destroys those cells but many others.

Radiotherapy treatment is an aggressive treatment that seeks to destroy and reduce the number of cancer cells in the body, that is, the disease is already in your body, and what is used is a very strong remedy to fight against an extremely resistant cell.

The radiation attacks beyond the tumor, it also damages the tissue near the tumor, and at the same time, it affects the whole body. When people are treated with this treatment, they become very weak because the body receives the hit of the radiation, it is like fighting fire with fire.

I had the same doubt as you because I investigated something about this, cancer thrives on the multiplication of malignant cells in the body, these cells respond positively to radiation, but if more radiation is applied than DNA can tolerate conforms them changes, separating the chains and destroying their natural behavior, which is to multiply, for that reason radiation is applied is like the saying that says that the cure is worse than the disease.

A few years ago I found out that companies are required to release their job titles and salary when they sponsor someone for an American work visa. If your firm hires international people, salary data for that role is available.

There is a website called

I think this data is far far more accurate than glass door or any other self-disclosure forum.

If you have unlimited patience you can lookup H1B data on Uscis.gov and analyze it yourself.
