LED Therapy for Cancer Treatment
A new cancer treatment using LED light and microscopic flakes of tin offers a safer alternative to chemotherapy and surgery.
Traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation have severe side effects due to damage to healthy cells.

Photothermal therapy, an experimental method using light to heat and destroy cancer cells, is a potential alternative.
However, it has faced hurdles including high costs, need for powerful lasers, and risk of harming nearby healthy cells.
LED therapy may kill cancer cells in just 30 minutes.
