Soon, there might be a cancer killer that has nothing to do with either chemotherapy or radiation. Imagine being able to treat cancer with Leronlimab and near infrared light. In other words, hardly any SAE's and harsh side effects!

"It is a whole new generation of molecular machines that we call molecular jackhammers," says chemist James Tour from Rice University.
"They are more than one million times faster in their mechanical motion than the former Feringa-type motors, and they can be activated with near-infrared light rather than visible light."
The use of near-infrared light is important because it enables scientists to get deeper into the body. Cancer in bones and organs could potentially be treated without needing surgery to get to the cancer growth.
In tests on cultured, lab-grown cancer cells, the molecular jackhammer method scored a 99 percent hit rate at destroying the cells. The approach was also tested on mice with melanoma tumors, and half the animals became cancer-free.
