New Breakthrough Treatment Safely Kills Cancer Cells With Light
Cancer treatment has evolved, but current therapies often have significant costs, including physical and emotional tolls. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can damage healthy cells, leaving patients exhausted and vulnerable to long-term side effects.
Researchers worldwide are seeking treatments that are effective and gentle, targeting tumors precisely while sparing the body. A new light-based treatment, introduced by US researchers, combines near-infrared LED light with tin oxide nanoflakes (SnOx) to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy ones unharmed.
- Photothermal therapy uses light to heat and destroy tumors.
- Near-infrared LED light and SnOx nanoflakes are used in this new treatment.
This discovery marks an important advance in cancer treatment, offering a promising alternative to traditional therapies.
