Q: What are the latest cancer therapies?

Answer:

 The latest cancer therapies focus on destroying cancer while doing the least possible damage to surrounding tissue. Modern techniques use imaging technologies to show the surgeon (or the interventional oncologist) what he is operating on without the need for invasive surgery. Cancerous tissues are destroyed using energy, such as heat or microwaves conducted by the tip of a needle. This is called “ablation”.
