| Watching tumors melt away |
13 May 2003 - Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.
All standard methods of removing tumors have side effects. Surgical excision under anesthetic leaves a wound, usually extending into adjacent healthy tissue. It also raises the risk of cancerous cells spreading via blood and lymph vessels. The X- or gamma-rays used in radiation therapy have to pass through healthy tissue to reach deeper-lying tumors, causing collateral damage on the way. And the hormones and other drugs used in chemotherapy have undesirable effects on the whole body. |
