Late stage cancer : Still Treatable

Recurrent or metastatic cancer has always been extremely refractory. Now there's a technology to cure medium and advanced stage cancer patients giving them a new hope that is - Radio-Particle Knife technology.

The role of a particle "knife" is to kill tumor cells with radioactive Iodine 125 seeds seated in a titanium shell; having the same thickness of a pencil lead, and measuring less than half a centimeter long, commonly referred to as "particles". The doctor will then follow a treatment plan, using a special apparatus to "shoot" the "particles" into the tumor.

A certain Mr. Lee from Vietnam recently went to our hospital for examination. They found that his chest had a huge black shadow. It was later determined as a malignant thymoma. It was also discovered that the aorta and the tumor was wrapped around the artery lumen, thus the tumor was difficult to remove completely by surgery.

According to experts of Guangzhou Modern Cancer Hospital, this hidden chest tumor is usually growing slowly in the human body. Theres basically no specific sign of tumor growth in the lungs, except for some abnormalities in breathing.

Examination revealed a tumor the size of a small watermelon. Experts said that because both radiotherapy and surgery can not control the tumor growth, they will now implant 110 particles of Iodine 125 into the tumor, this will be able to kill cancer cells; consequently, the volume of the tumor gradually decreased.

According to experts, a recurrence of tumor even after doing surgery or radiotherapy cannot be solved by another operation. Radioactive particles can grow to puncture the tumor, so that particles close to the tumor cells directly and have sustained release of radiation at close range; achieving fixed-point "blasting" to kill tumors. At present, this treatment has been used in order to achieve complete regression of tumor lesions, while not constituting any hazard to normal tissue cells. It has been used to treat hundreds to thousands pf patients who had relapse or metastasis.
