Reply to comment by freddythedinosaur1 in What color are cancer cells? by jennlara
Surgeons are guided by imaging devices like PET, CT and MRI scanners. You can use contrast agents to show areas of greater glucose metabolism, for instance, as cancer cells use energy faster than others for respiration and blood vessel construction, and draw a contour around that to be used in surgery and radiotherapy.

Reply to comment by Oheligud in As they still have a neutral charge, can antineutrons replace neutrons in a regular atom? by Oheligud
A neutron is made of up, down, down quarks, and a proton is made of up, up, down. An antineutron would be antiup, antidown, antidown, and the ups and antiups and the downs and antidowns would annihilate if it was in the same atom as a proton.
