So I'm writing a story about a guy who gets brain tumor because of a car accident. I know it may be a stupid question, but how can someone retrieve tumor in such a situation? Or where can radiation, enough to give cancer, be found. Maybe a place or a truck or something that might carry a radiative device in it?

Sorry, i know this sounds really stupid, but all your help is greatly appreciated.

You want to "retrieve" the tumor? Don't you want to remove it?

Why do you want radiation to "give" cancer???

Most radiation therapy is in a hospital.

the story talks about his struggle from cancer. the removing cancer will come in the middle of the story. first i want to show how he ended up with it.

I know a young man who is going through brain cancer for the second time in his life. The tumors are removed by surgery and then he's treated with radiation and chemotherapy to try to remove any cancer cells that surgery didn't get. No one knows what causes the tumors to grow in the places they do.

You need to get your facts straight about cancerous brain tumors and how they are treated.

I agree with Writeacher. No one knows what causes brain tumors.

It's highly unlikely that a tumor or cancer is caused by a recent accident.

As a journalist told me when I was a child, write about what you know.

Alright, thanks a bunch :)

You're welcome.
