Pleo:

Since this is not my field, I may be wrong in my analysis. Still I must work with the information/knowledge I have.

I believe that, by far, the greatest amount of treatment goes to the original tumor. Zapping metastases is not so big a business, although if one is otherwise relatively healthy they might zap a secondary tumor, or operate on one, that is causing specific troubles (such as blocking the throat), or a particularly large one. I understand that once cancer within the body as a whole gets to a kilogram or so, you will be dead. If BDSM could be used to knock back larger growths it might buy some time, and be worthwhile. I doubt it would be a game changer unless it could do so with much greater efficiency. Maybe it can.

As to the thyroid, if one treatment by BSDM equipment sufficed, it could be a large field. But if one saves money initially and needed more treatments later, perhaps not. After all, if the thyroid it taken out surgically, after that you are good. Just take a cheap pill every day.

As to the prostate, that seems a promising area. Hard to operate on. If they could ablate it easily with BSDM equipment, that could become the standard of care. I can even imagine prophylactic care where all men over 60 had a treatment. After all, most have enlarged prostates and many will have some cancer in the gland anyway, and it not an essential gland.

But the most significant treatment will remain the initial treatment of a self-contained cancer other than lung or kidney. I say that because I believe that in most cases they would continue to just cut out the whole lung or kidney rather than chance another type of treatment.

I'd agree there seems to be potential here. Still I get nervous with story stocks, especially ones that have a good story for 10 years and have a history of many dilutions. Maybe I will add a bit to my position though.
