      Lasers are used to cure some cancers, try googling photodynamic therapy. There has been talk about using one of the lasers we have for treating some skin cancers and I am in the early stages of setting up a trial to look into this at the moment.

      I don’t think lasers are the answer to treating all cancers though

      Well, I am not familiar with this area. Anyway, I hope laser can do some help.

      I don’t think that we’ll cure cancer with lasers, but we can surely treat it with them. Tom’s the expert here.
