Certain kinds of skin cancer could be easily eradicated with a new, noninvasive cream treatment that has been given a 95% success rating. Researchers estimate this could cure skin cancer for up to 3,000 people each year.
The process works with an application of surgical foil on the tumor area. A radioactive paste of rhenium-188 is applied and left for one or two hours. As the compound hardens, the radioactivity attacks and destroys the tumor. After a week or so, healthy skin seamlessly regrows, leaving no traces, scars, or side effects.
The process was developed in Italy, where researchers were able to mass produce the previously rare rhenium-188. It is now being supplied from France, enough to treat thousands of patients per week.
The Italian researchers had tested 700 patients. 85% were cured of their skin cancer after one treatment. 95% were cured after three.
This process works for common skin cancers, like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which target 100,000 people per year. However, malignant melanoma, the most dangerous skin cancer, requires more invasive treatment.
Surgery is usually the go-to method. Other times, radiotherapy and tumor "freezing" is used for small cancers. But some tumors that are difficult to get to because they are located so deep or because they are near sensitive areas like the eyes. Treatments for these individuals may entail more than ten hospital sessions and serious side effects.
Further trials are now being conducted in Germany and Australia.
