Mechanical Nanosurgery Shreds Cancer Cells in Mice
"The method, which the researchers call mechanical nanosurgery, could
provide a much-needed new treatment option for patients with glioblastoma,
a terminal form of brain cancer. The new method uses iron-filled carbon
nanotubes injected directly into tumors. When researchers apply a magnetic
field, the nanotubes spin, damaging cancer cells and causing some to self-
destruct. The method is still in the early stages of development, but could
one day offer a new treatment for a disease which has not seen a major
advance in treatment for nearly two decades, and which invariably develops
resistance to chemotherapy treatments."
