A team from Harvard University, United Kingdom, conducted a study to treat throat cancer is detected early. They found a method of treatment that claimed more quickly by using heat energy laser light to kill cancer cells and tissue around it. This study tested the 28 patients at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Dr. Steven M Zeitels, who led the study, said that the only therapy that utilize heat from the laser beam does not require other treatment and without surgery. He also added that the patients treated with this method only takes an average follow-up for 27 months and a maximum of five years without additional treatment.
After witnessing the presentation of Dr. Zeitels, Dr. Gregory A Grilone, a throat disease expert from Boston University, commented that this finding is a new breakthrough in the treatment of cancer. However, both Dr. Zeitels and Dr. Grilone agreed that making this method as a standard cancer therapy research is needed on the number of hospital patients and more.
