It seems that tests have taken place on mice where nanotechnology has been used to target cancers. Read here.
It seems that nanotechnology has been moving at a tremendous pace where we can explicitly target cancer cells with a treatment of tumour bursting genes while leaving neighbouring, healthy, cells unaffected.
As we know it’s the indiscriminate targeting of cancer and neighbouring healthy cells that cause so many issues with our current cancer treatments and this means the location of the cancer is very important at this time. With this treatment previously incurable cancers can be targeted, or torpedoed as the article says.
A lot of progress seems to have been taking place lately. This process is talking about being available in a couple of years. Hope it is not too long before it is available to all. Don’t you just love technology.
Don’t you just love technology.
If it moves us forward.
All technology can be used for good and bad. We develop some tool to be used for something (good or bad) and then it is modified slightly and used by the other side.
Since we first picked up a rock to kill an animal and then someone used a similar rock in exactly the same way to kill a human we have always had this issue. There is no solution at the moment.
