The new approach, which features a heat-sensitive fluorescent dye, could eventually replace standard chemotherapy.
For more than two decades, researchers have tried to develop a light-activated cancer therapy that could replace standard chemotherapy, which is effective but causes serious negative side effects. Despite those efforts, they've struggled to come up with a light-activated approach that would target only cancer cells.

I find that concept fascinating.
For years I have been reading about "heat therapy" for cancer treatment... I wonder is light therapy is closely related.
I recently read an article about a DR. who believe that virtually all cancer patients that have gone into spontaneous remission had something in common.. they all experienced a serious fever.
Very interesting Indeed!
