Ions instead of a knife: a new way to treat tumors
Source:
Not always the latest news from China may be associated with the spread of coronavirus infection. This was confirmed by a message from the city of Lanzhou, which refers to the commissioning of a unique complex for carbon ion therapy that help to win over even tumors without surgery. It is known that the unique technology allows you to easily destroy tumors with carbon ions, accelerated to 70% the speed of light. Is new technology really can save the humanity from cancer?
What is carbon-ion therapy?
A Method of treatment of cancer patients charged beams were invented in 1946, when American scientist Robert Wilson proposed the use of physics in medicine. Then the researcher suggested that not only the protons can serve as person in the fight against dangerous diseases, but also some other unseen particles. Anyway, on the theory of Wilson about cancer treatment ions, mankind has listened only in the twenty-first century, when the standard methods of getting rid of the disease faced .
Currently, carbon ion therapy — is a unique technology of cancer treatment, allowing to treat even those patients who are unable to help other kinds of therapy. In order to implement the new method of combating cancer in reality and to give hope to thousands of patients, scientists from China have built a complex of various devices which with the aid of charged waves can affect the body of a patient virtually without any serious side effects.
The Unique equipment, which occupies two classrooms in one of the Chinese clinics, consists of the accelerator — the particle accelerator itself and treatment aimed at the removal of malignant tumors from the human body. The beam of charged particles released from the device to the area of the tumor, gradually inhibited as you move particles in the body of the patient and it accumulates ionic charge of carbon, a point acting on the tumor.
As the braking beam in the body of the patient, the level of ionization gradually increases, reaching its maximum destructive effect in the tumor area, while not touching the adjacent healthy tissue. The extremely small size of the ion beam enables easy focusing for the necessities of the treatment areas, making the treatment process for the patient is absolutely painless and even invisible.
the Procedure for carbon-ion therapy can be completely painless for the patient.
Currently there are several centers where you can undergo carbon-ion therapy. So, in addition to the Chinese hospital in Lanzhou, the treatment options of the disease can be detected in Japanese is Tokyo, in the German city of Darmstadt and in the Austrian centre, MedAustron.
The price of conducting unique kind of therapy can reach several tens of thousands of euros. However, often such price is justified by high performance, and sometimes there is no alternative treatment. So, a number of studies have already proved its success in the treatment of prostate cancer, bone sarcomas, glioblastomas and colorectal cancer.
Despite the fact that the new therapy is considered the most diseases, and she may experience certain side effects. Thus, in the area of active influence of the charged carbon beam can be irritation and rashes, and after the procedure, patients often complain of fever, allergic reactions and General intoxication of the organism. All of this, scientists associated with the destruction of the tumor, the residual particles which for the time being, continue to poison the diseased organism.
Meanwhile, we Hi-News.ru already wrote about the fact that one of the causes of cancer in humans is the excess of male or female hormones. To learn more about the influence of hormonal background on the development of dangerous diseases you can .
Built in China, the device allows misoperation to remove dangerous growths.
