Since 2009 is getting close to the end, I am going to write this article about the top 10 new discoveries of cancer treatment in 2009.
I have gathered the cancer research news from Google and National Cancer Institute. Below are some of the new findings of cancer treatment which I found really benefits to the world.
1. New Cancer Treatment without Surgery
On the 27th of January 2009, U.T.'s Health Science Centre unveiled a new promising cancer treatment that revolutionized the way to treat cancerous tumors in patients' lungs. After mild sedation, a catheter is inserted into patients' throat and the lung near to the tumor. Radiation is released from a small seed at the end of the catheter and killed the tumor cells without killing the normal lung tissue. Therefore, the patient can still live normally after treatment. It only takes 3 to 4 minutes to undergo this treatment and the patient can leave the hospital a short time later without feeling sick.
2. Machine Boots Cancer Treatment
On 12th of June 2009, a new machine that can speed up cancer treatment for cancer patients has been unveiled. This machine enables an extra 200 radiotherapy cancer treatments to be carried out every week. It generates high intensity of radiation beams to kill cancer cells effectively.
