There are only a few hospitals in the US that offer this treatment (Calif. & Texas for two), but over 40,000 patients have had this quick (5-minute), non-evasive (no side-effects) and very successful treatment for cancers that have not metastisized. I wonder if this treatment would be equally successful for squamous cell cancers that have metastized. I would like to hear from you. Here's a website to check out.http://www.mdanderson.org/care_centers/radiationonco/ptc/dIn Virginia   Calico Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
