Freezing Cancer to Death

"ICE-COLD GAS 'KILLS' CANCER"
D. Express 17.3.10
Breast & prostate cancer can be killed by being frozen with streams of super-cold gas. In a major breakthrough the 'ice-ball' created around a tumour by the injections with very fine needles, kills the tumour & ensures it does not return. In a trial, all the people were still free of cancer after 5 years. It is called cryotherapy & the patient does not need invasive surgery & suffers no major discomfort or scarring. Study led by Dr. Peter Littrup, interventional radiologist at Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Detroit. He said findings suggest freezing tumours is safe & effective. Study presented at Society of Interventional Radiology's 35th Annual Scientific Meeting in Florida on 16.3.10. Cryotherapy as been used for years to treat warts, moles & skin cancer. It has been shown to work on the lung, liver & cervix.
