Can nuclear fusion CURE CANCER?
Siberian scientists have successfully completed a revolutionary experiment using nuclear fusion energy to destroy cancerous tumors.
An experiment using an accelerator-based neutron beam for cancer therapy was successfully performed in Siberia in early March. According to scientists, the method can be used for the most malignant types of tumours that do not respond to traditional treatments; for example, glioblastoma, a common form of brain tumour, which has an average life expectancy of just over a year.
The experiment's purpose was to confirm that boron-infused cancer cells die from exposure to neutrons, and to establish the necessary dose and time. The research was carried out by Russian scientists at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, and Japanese neurosurgeons from the University of Tsukuba.
"This is the only effective way to deal with invasive tumors whose cells are distributed throughout the body," explains Dr Alexander Zaboronok, associate professor of the University of Tsukuba. "It is impossible to completely remove or destroy them using conventional methods. If standard radiation therapy 'conducts indirect fire,' we plant explosives on the targets and then detonate them."
