Calif. HS student devises possible cancer cure - CBS News
Quote:
Angela's idea was to mix cancer medicine in a polymer that would attach to nanoparticles -- nanoparticles that would then attach to cancer cells and show up on an MRI. so doctors could see exactly where the tumors are. Then she thought shat if you aimed an infrared light at the tumors to melt the polymer and release the medicine, thus killing the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely unharmed.
"I think it was more of a -- 'This is really cool, I want to see if it works' -- type thing," she said.
It'll take years to know if it works in humans -- but in mice -- the tumors almost completely disappeared.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."
