An overwhelming injury will simply kill all the cells, leaving no chance for cancer to develop. Too little cellular damage, however, is simply repaired by the normal DNA-repair mechanisms. Chronicity is the second key attribute of carcinogens. A single large dose of radiation is far less carcinogenic than chronic low-level radiation. [2020] - Jason Fung
