METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING MICROSCOPIC RESIDUAL TUMORS REMAINING IN TISSUES FOLLOWING SURGICAL RESECTION

摘要

This invention concerns treating apparently normal tissue surrounding sites of cancerous tumors so as to reduce both the probability of a recurrence of cancer at and near the site of a cancerous tissue, and to reduce the amount of apparently healthy tissue that is usually excised along with the tumor, thereby providing a substantial benefit to the cancer patient by eliminating or delaying tumor recurrence and sparing normal tissue for its functionality and for avoiding unnecessary disfigurement.
