Cancer Could Be Vulnerable To Lasers
POSTED: 8:26 am EDT July 1, 2009
Scientists have developed a treatment they said could destroy cancer with laser light, according to a report from IndiaTimes.com.The report says that British doctors plan to start clinical tests of a technique called photodynamic therapy, or PDT.In PDT, a drug would be injected that makes cancer cells sensitive to light.
When a low-level laser is shot at a tumor through the skin, the cells destroy themselves.The report did not include information on what previous testing had been conducted or what kinds of cancer the technique could treat.
