What they did
Green's research targets tumours with nanoparticles that are then heated by a near-infrared laser, with the aim of destroying cancer cells while sparing surrounding tissue.
Historical context
Chemotherapy and radiation damage healthy tissue because they cannot distinguish targets precisely enough.
The legacy
The work is in the research stage; this archive records it as active research, not as an approved clinical treatment.
