fenriz275 0 Posted September 15, 2004 I think this could be very useful technology. From my limited knowledge I know that when cancer spreads out beyond where surgery isn't an option to remove it they have to use radiation and chemotherapy to fight it. From what I've witnessed these treatments can be devestating. I've seen people left so sick and weak from chemotherapy they couldn't eat enough to keep up their strength. If this technology allows doctors to destroy cancer cells individually without harming healthy cells it could be the 'cure' everyone hopes for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I hope the nanite technology works, it sounds like a great alternative to the current treatments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted September 18, 2004 hopefully it works, but the problem is that if they get out of control.... we're going to be in big trouble... :borg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarletfire 0 Posted September 19, 2004 I hope they keep working on it, Nanoprobes could help a lot, but I don't like the fact that they could be made into weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
