Now, cancer control is within reach.
Argon gas is injected into the tumor that will cause the temperature inside to drop to 160 degrees below zero. This freezes the tumor in a short period of time. Helium liquid is then injected to heat the tumor resulting in the death of tumor cells.
A patient named Mr. Zhang had an advanced stage cancer in a part of his body that is very hard to reach using traditional treatment methods. His family pleaded with the doctors to help find a treatment for him. After several co-operation between the group of specialists looking after him, they decided to use a special kind of treatment.
CT guidance is used to locate the tumor and guide the penetration of the catheter containing the needle. By injecting argon to freeze the tumor and then helium to heat it, the therapy causes cancer cells to burst, turning the tumor's state from solid to liquid. This therapy is derived from very advanced aerospace technology from the United States.
Guangzhou Modern Cancer Hospital Professor Peng Xiaochi said that, a suddern burst after the death of the tumor cells will gradually be absorbed by the blood forming tumor cell antigens that can stumulate the body's immune system to produce new immunity cells, boosting the patient's ability to combat the disease.
After more than a week of urgent observation there was an atmosphere of joy among the doctors. The cancer cells were not only completely eliminated, there was also no sign of recurrence.
