UCD finds waves that kill cancer
An experimental technique that destroys breast cancer cells
without surgery is under evaluation at UC Davis Cancer Center.
Instead of cutting out a tumor, the experimental technique uses
radio wave energy to kill cancer cells deep inside the breast.
Vijay Khatri, assistant professor of surgery at UC Davis Cancer
Center, John McGahan, professor of radiology, and Bijan Bijan,
assistant professor of radiology, are leading a pilot study to
evaluate the technique’s effectiveness. The investigators are
ready to enroll about 30 Sacramento-area women with very small,
early-stage breast tumors in the study.
Because the technique is experimental, all of the women will
undergo a conventional lumpectomy or mastectomy following the radio
wave treatment.
