This
summary of an article which appeared in a Dutch Newspaper with
thanks to Wendy Beard
"The University of Ultrecht have successfully treated
(they say six) cats & dogs by injecting tiny radioactive
holmium balls directly into the tumour. There were barely any
side effects and the benefits to this method are that there is
little damage to the surrounding tissue as the tumour is
attacked from inside out.
Some tumours became
markedly smaller and some disappeared altogether. The conditions
of treatment (for this experimental method) were that the tumour
was easily accessible and that no other forms of treatment were
possible. They cite the case of a cat with a form of skin cancer
in its mouth. The tongue and skin underneath were affected and
no operation was possible. They chose to try the holmium
injections and the tumour completely disappeared.
Jolle Kirpensteijn
was to give a presentation at the U of Utrecht.
Then the column talks
of the similarity of cancer in humans and how important the
research for cats and dogs is in curing people. They hope that
this method will be available within 6 months for humans too." |
