The groundbreaking new hot needle treatment is called radiofrequency ablation
At the same time as using the needle, doctors are able to carry out a biopsy
This is used for testing to see whether cancer is aggressive and likely to spread
Treatment is therefore able to both diagnose and destroy hard-to-reach tumours
Currently most lung-cancer patients have repeat procedures to remove tumour

I certainly hope this turns out to successfully for many if not all cancers.

That would be something. But I guess we have to die of something. I feel that the way we die is an important factor for our future.
