Reply to comment by supified in Using a gel-like, radioactive implant, engineers have demonstrated the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer ever recorded in mouse models, the new treatment completely eliminated tumors in 80 percent of mice across several model types, including those considered the most difficult to treat by giuliomagnifico

I envision a future where we can functionalize nano-particles with molecules which make them selectively taken up by cancerous tissue. These nanoparticles could be of a composition such that they heat up a lot upon NIR radiation, meaning non-invasive, selective zapping of cancerous cells. That's far out though I think
