Treating the condition with radiation is extremely unusual.

用放射疗法治疗这种疾病是非常不寻常。

There is concern that the radiation could cause additional harm.

人们担心，放射疗法可能会造成额外伤害。

It can include surgery, radiation chemotherapy and the use of targeted, newer cancer drugs.

其中包括手术、放射疗法及服用针对，型癌症药物。

The idea for the radiation treatment came from Dr. Phillip Cuculich, a heart specialist at Washington University.

放射疗法想法来自华盛顿大学心病专家菲利普·库库里奇博士。

If the tumor is fast-growing or invading nearby tissue, your doctor might recommend radiation or surgery followed by radiation.

如果瘤成生并侵袭周围细胞，那医生可能推荐放射疗法或手术摘除和放疗相结合。

But there are uncertainties, like whether the radiation may contribute to cancer later in life, or damage nearby structures.

但是，还有一些不确定，比如这种放射疗法是否会在之后导致癌症，或对邻近组织造成损害。

But if this radiation method proves safe and effective, it might be a simpler strategy...to help the heart regain its rhythm.

但如果证明这种放射疗法是安全有效，那这可以成为帮助心恢复节奏更简单方法。

These days, however, the main source of ionising radiation for most people is neither fallout from bombs nor radiotherapy; it is dental X-rays.

然而，现今影响大多数人离子辐射主要源头既不是原子弹辐射尘埃也不是放射疗法，而是牙科X光。

Ironically, because past research studying the after-effects of exposure to things like atom bombs and radiation treatments for cancer suggests the most important environmental risk factor for meningiomas is ionising radiation.

讽刺是，对人体暴露于类似原子弹辐射和癌症放射疗法后续影响研究显示，产生脑膜瘤最主要环境风险因素是离子辐射。
