She is regarded as the most outstanding female scientist in the world. It was Marie Curie who found a way to fight cancer and X-ray technology... During scientific research, Marie Curie and her husband discovered two important elements in the periodic table: Polonium and Radium. This work paved the way for the advent of X-rays, which led to many advances in medicine. Today, advances have been made in X-ray technology allowing disease to be suspected, and radiation therapy is also used in the treatment of cancer. Curies research has helped develop radiation as a tool to treat cancer cells - the cornerstone of radiation therapy in modem medicine today, although radiation therapy has improved. At that time, she inserted small glass tubes with Radon (a radioactive gas) into areas of the tumor causing them to shrink. 1.
