before people realized that x-rays could harm you, they used x-ray machines to find out your shoe size at stores. Some people had it done so often, that they got radiation burns and cancer!
Just thought you might want to know. :-)
I wread about that in Biology class... I always woundered. What if? Getting Cancer in the foot? is it possible?
Well, cancer is just a cell whose DNA has mutated, and it is dividing out of controll- so yeah, you can get cancer in any body part (even the foot).
I kinda already know that... I'm learning Biology at school. I just haven't heard of any one getting cancer in their foot before, so I guess it must be rare.
