BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Popping' bubbles to treat cancer


BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Popping' bubbles to treat cancer: "They have built a device to beam waves of ultrasound into the body, generating bubbles at the site of a tumour. When these bubbles pop, they release energy as heat - killing rogue cells. The UK team plans to apply its new technique in clinical trials; it will be used in treating patients with kidney and liver tumours."
