QuoteInteresting article posted in MIT Technology Review:
"Tiny Drill Attacks Tough Tumors: A new approach to treating bone cancer is being tested in dogs"
"Dauvalt and volunteered her dog for a clinical trial at Texas A&M University, where veterinarians are testing a new technology that delivers radiation directly to solid bone tumors. During a two-hour procedure on March 12, the vets used a drill roughly the size of an electric toothbrush to inject a radioactive isotope directly into the tumor, in the hopes of shrinking it without harming surrounding tissue. The lessons they learn from Juno's experience–and that of other dogs in the trial–will help scientists determine if such highly targeted radiation treatments could also work in humans."
