Tumor imaging technique has potential as anti-cancer weapon, mouse study shows. Unlike traditional light therapy – which is limited to the skin and areas accessible with an endoscope – this technique can target and attack cancer cells that have spread deep inside the body, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Light emitted as part of traditional cancer-imaging techniques, to locate metastatic tumors, also can trigger light-sensitive drugs, according to the new study...
