Cancer is still one of the world's most feared diseases, tragically affecting millions of lives through diagnosis, treatment and the long road to recovery. A new social media viral post has centred on a treatment claimed to 'destroy cancer without a single cut' using extreme cold guided by MRI.
Moreover, this post describes patients walking into a hospital, watching the procedure under real-time imaging, and walking out the same day with no stitches, no pain and no scars. The excitement and virality are understandable. The idea that cancer could be eradicated in a matter of hours with minimal discomfort challenges everything we have come to expect from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
