Breast cancer might be cured with ultra waves
A new method that is now during the experimental period,helped by ultra waves to destroy tumors smaller than 3cm,could be an alternative for surgical interventions.
During the cancer congress in Paris,Eurocancer,a new technology was presented that allows treating small breast tumors through ultra waves,obtained thanks to ultra wave and high intensity.The method is in the experimental faze at the Saint Louis hospital in Paris,in collaboration with the Shanghai University.If it will be efficient,the ultra sounds treatment will lead to avoiding surgical intervention or at least lowering the dimension of the tumor.
Opposite to the ultra sounds used for ecographies,that go through the cells without damaging them,the ones used in treating cancer are 10000 stronger.They heat the sick cells until they are destroyed.
Another advantage of the treatment is the fact that it takes a short period of time to be done.One or max 2 sessions of 45min to one hour and a local anesthesia is enough for treating a small breast cancer,the patient feeling only a few pinches at the end.
