Chinese Doctors Claim Cancer-Treatment Breakthrough
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese surgeons are declaring a breakthrough in cancer treatment after turning a patient's malignant tumor into a ball of ice, state media said on Saturday.
Doctors at Xijing Hospital in the northwestern city of Xian inserted a superconductive knife, 0.0788 inches in diameter, into the tumor of liver cancer patient, Xinhua news agency said.
By forcing high-pressure argon and helium gas through the knife point, they were able to lower the temperature of the tumor to minus 220.
``In 60 seconds, the tumor became an ice ball,' the article said, adding ``all cancer cells were killed.'
``The operation took only 30 minutes. The patient felt no pain and there was no bleeding,' it said.
``The therapy is a breakthrough in cancer treatment,' it quoted Dou Kefeng, a surgeon in charge of the operation, as saying.
