Breast cancer breakthrough from the UK

[unixronin]

Reports out of the UK say that microneedle cryotherapy not only destroys breast tumors in minutes, but prevents relapses.  The technique is minimally invasive, and the article (brief though it is) implies that no follow-up chemotherapy or radiotherapy is required.  It's mentioned that they're experimenting with it for prostate cancer; I suspect it may prove to have general applicability to a wide range of compact/dense cancers.

Positively frigid, one might say. ;)
