Uv Waves and Gamma waves result in various forms of cancer due to mutations that have happened over time and resulted in the cells trying to divide so much that it gets out of control. Uv waves cause damage through dna mutations with one example being when one gets sunburned. When your skin peels from being sunburned, that dead skin couldn't survive after so many mutations that it died.
