Marie Curie's discoveries, particularly radium and polonium, were pivotal in cancer treatment. Her work opened new avenues for therapy, as radium's radioactivity was utilized to destroy cancerous tissue, leading to the development of radiation therapy. Curie's advocacy for 'telecurie therapy,' where radium was placed near tumors, significantly advanced cancer treatment strategies, enabling doctors to target malignant growths effectively. This foundational research eventually evolved into modern radiotherapy, which is now a critical component of cancer care ( ).
