The Sticking Plaster Cancer Cure
新療法貼膏藥治皮膚癌
There are no scare poles ,no pain killing injections needed for this skin cancer treatment,a harmless cream and a special plaster are all it takes.
這種皮膚癌療法不需要微管介導，也不需要止痛注射，只要一種無害的乳霜和一種特別的膏藥就可以了。
Inside the device,a tiny LED light activates a drug in the cream to create a toxic chemical that kills the diseased cells. The Ambulight device works like this,a cream containing an inactive chemical is rubbed into the skin where it's absorbed by cancer cells but not normal tissue. Three hours later,the light in the plaster automatically switches on for a set time,converting the chemical into a lethal drug,it kills the cancer but leaves the healthy cells alone .
在這種設備內部，一個微小的LED燈泡激活藥物中的有害化學物質，殺死患病細胞。這種名為“Ambulight”的新型發光貼膏裝置的工作原理是，含有鈍性的化學物質的乳霜被涂抹到皮膚上，被癌細胞吸收，而正常的組織則不會吸收。三個小時后，膏藥中的光線自動轉化為定時，將化學物質轉化為破壞性的藥物，殺死癌細胞，而健康的細胞不受影響。
"We are looking 80% to 90% complete cure with it,and what we are hoping is to optimize that further by looking at various new ways of delivering the light pulsing,for example,so there is a lot of room for improvement."
“該療法我們已經完成了80%至90%的觀察，我們希望通過查看光線的不同傳送方法來使這種療法最優化，所以還有很大的改進空間。”
The treatment is called photo dynamic therapy,it is increasingly being used in hospitals,but up to now it's needed bulky lamps like this by miniaturizing the technology into a sticking plaster. It becomes incredibly simple to use,patients could go to their GP surgery to have the plaster put on and then go home for the treatment.
這種療法叫做光動力學療法，在醫院得到越來越廣泛的使用，但是目前為止還需要這種笨重的燈泡，將這種科技融入膏藥。使用起來非常簡單，病人可以前往手術中心貼上膏藥，然后回家持續治療就可以了。
