一种新的轻活化治疗在实验室测试中导致多达92%的皮肤癌细胞死亡,避免健康组织。 A new light-activated treatment killed up to 92% of skin cancer cells in lab tests, sparing healthy tissue.

奥斯汀得克萨斯大学和波尔图大学的研究人员开发了一种新的癌症治疗方法,使用近红外LED光和氧化锡纳米片进行治疗,在30分钟内将多达92%的皮肤癌细胞和50%的直肠癌细胞在实验室试验中死亡,从而省去了健康的细胞。 Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Porto have developed a new cancer treatment using near-infrared LED light and tin oxide nanoflakes that killed up to 92% of skin cancer cells and 50% of colorectal cancer cells in lab tests within 30 minutes, sparing healthy cells. 在纳米花吸收光线、有选择地摧毁癌症细胞时,该方法通过产生热能来发挥作用。 The method works by generating heat when the nanoflakes absorb light, selectively destroying cancer cells. 该小组目前正在研究轻热过程,并研制供今后临床使用的设备。 The team is now studying the light-heat process and developing devices for future clinical use. 这种治疗仍处于早期阶段,但可以为皮肤癌和结肠癌提供非侵入性、有针对性的治疗,这些癌症是全世界最常见的癌症。 The treatment is still in early stages but could offer a non-invasive, targeted therapy for skin and colon cancers, which are among the most common cancers worldwide.
