This is amazing. I think ironically it will increase the use of MRI. Initial screening will be so cheap and fast that it will be routine. The people that really need the MRI will be found when now we miss many.

A new light therapy kills 92% of cancer cells in just 30 minutes.
Researchers in Texas and Portugal have created a cancer-killing therapy that pairs cheap LED lights with atom-thin tin oxide nanoflakes to wipe out tumors while sparing healthy tissue.
The process is photothermal: near-infrared LEDs shine on the tin flakes (SnOx), which absorb the light and warm up precisely enough to cook nearby cancer cells. In lab tests, a 30-minute session destroyed 92% of skin-cancer cells and 50% of colorectal-cancer cells, yet left normal human skin cells untouched—precision that chemo and radiation rarely match.
In lab tests, the technique killed up to 92% of skin cancer cells and half of colorectal cancer cells after only 30 minutes of exposure – with no harm to healthy human skin cells. It's the kind of precision that traditional chemotherapy and radiation often struggle to achieve.
Unlike earlier photothermal methods that needed costly lasers and exotic materials, this version uses off-the-shelf LEDs and abundant tin, slashing cost and complexity. The team envisions wearable patches for post-surgical cleanup to stop recurrence, plus implantable versions for deeper tumors like breast cancer.
The bigger aim: deliver hospital-grade treatment to clinics, homes, and underserved regions worldwide.

This is wild! Scientists used liposuction to suck out ordinary white fat cells...then used CRISPR to turn into “beige” fat cells, which voraciously consume calories to make heat.
Then, they implanted them near tumors the way plastic surgeons inject fat from one part of the body to plump up another.
The fat cells scarfed up all the nutrients, starving most of the tumor cells to death.
These cells wiped out breast, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancers by depleting shared resources.
They even used patient fat from mastectomies to target their own breast cancer.
Why Fat?: Easy to harvest (liposuction), edit, and reimplant safely – biocompatible, no migration risks.

@preshtalwalkar Once you answer the question, I have a new question. In the same scenario, how does the depth of the water change at different tilts? Between standing straight, and tilting at 60 degrees, the depth starts and ends at the same depth. If you tilt past 60 degrees depth must drop?
