A new groundbreaking light therapy could kill cancer cells in just 30 minutes, scientists have discovered.
In the new method, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin fired infrared light, a type of light invisible to the eye, from LED bulbs at test tubes that contained human skin cancer or colon cancer cells and healthy human skin cells.
The tubes also contained nanoscopic flakes of tin oxide, or SnOx nanoflakes, which were absorbed by the cancer cells.
The scientists found that when the light was fired at the cells, the nanoscopic flakes absorbed it and heated up, turning into 'microscopic heaters' that damaged cancer cells and caused them to die, while leaving the healthy cells mostly undamaged.
After 30 minutes, researchers found that the treatment had killed up to 92 percent of skin cancer cells and 50 percent of colon cancer cells, while the healthy cells remained largely unaffected.
The research is still in the earliest stages and is likely years away from becoming available, but the team said their study offers hope that a new treatment could become available that tackles cancer cells directly without damaging healthy tissue.
Current cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
However, these methods also harm healthy cells by directly removing them or by damaging their DNA and interfering with cell division. Chemotherapy and radiation have a range of potentially debilitating side effects, including hair loss, fatigue, nausea, a weakened immune system and pain.

Isn’t this just another form of photodynamic therapy? I was involved with something like this for an ophthalmic product but then the company sold that division off.
the article left out diarrhea as a side effect. When I had colo-rectal cancer in 1996 I had constant diarrhea for 2 months. The best I could eat was rice with chicken broth. Lost 40 pounds. The only real side effect, besides the internal radiation burns.
If I ever get a reoccurrence, I would opt for this treatment in a heartbeat.
Well, seriously, congrats on your survival! Same thing killed my uncle at age 62.
Thanks.
That was 30 years ago. Who knows what the treatment would do to me, at 72.
Going through it now at 64 - three chemo drugs to start, down to two now. Some side effects but nothing like radiation’s.
Wonder if it works on toenail fungus.
Bleach..............
Test done in a “test tube” isolated system. What does the light do to other normal cells which absorb the tin oxide flakes when this therapy is used in real human bodies?...
If they can hook up the tin oxide flakes to an antibody which ONLY attaches to tumor cells and they can irradiate (with IR light) only the tumor cells ( hard to do as tumor cells are in 3D arrays in deep tissue)....you might have something...for now it sounds like a “hey looka’ here”
“We can kill cells with a pile driver”. Like...big deal..
Sounds promising. I had melanoma about 25 years ago. Caught very early, so no radiation or chemo, just a quick slice and scan, then periodic dermatology appointments to check for recurrence.
But I still like to keep up with anything that sounds useful in case it ever comes back.
Like every other cure, this would be the last time you hear about it.
