Incredible. Another nano-therapy that might be available in the short term:

Scientists at Georgia Tech and the Ovarian Cancer Institute have further developed a potential new treatment againsat cancer that uses magnetic nanoparticles to attach to cancer cells, removing them from the body. The treatment, tested in mice in 2008, has now been tested using samples from human cancer patients. The results appear online in the journal Nanomedicine.

You might also recall this mind-blowing interview on NPR, in which Georgetown researcher Esther Chang reports a method for using nanoparticles to deliver tumor suppressor genes to kill tumors.
