Radiation damages the DNA within cells. As it prevents the cells from dividing and growing it particularly targets cells that have a high activity. Cancer cells grow and divide rapidly so that the mass can grow quickly causing damage to the surrounding tissues. Therefore cancer cells are more likely to be targeted by radiation treatment. Although normal healthy cells are also affected by the radiation the normal cells are able to recover from the damage more easily than tumour cells.
