Cancerous tumours are made of cells that are very difficult to kill. These cells escape our bodies' surveillance mechanisms and can clump together to form tumours. Dr Tamanoi has developed new therapies using special materials such as iodine-containing nanoparticles. Employing a precisely tuned X-ray beam to generate electrons from these induces DNA damage inside the cancer cells, in order to destroy the tumour masses.
