美国航宇局约翰逊空间中心的一个工程小组与地方上的癌症研究人员合作,研制出一个先进的治疗人体某些癌症用的热治疗系统。这项研究与航宇局兰利研究中心所用的微波技术检测癌症的研究无关。约翰逊空间中心使用的热治疗方法也是利用微波技术。研究表明,热能破坏癌细胞而不会损伤附近的健康组织。产生热的各种方法已更加成熟,但直至最近还存在一些待解决的问题,其中包括烫伤接受这种治疗的患者的问题。
An engineering team at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has partnered with local cancer researchers to develop an advanced heat treatment system for certain cancers in the body. This study has nothing to do with the microwave technology used to detect cancer by the NASA Langley Research Center. The thermal treatment used at Johnson Space Center also uses microwave technology. Research shows that heat destroys cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue. Various methods of generating heat have become more mature, but until recently there were still some problems to be solved, including the scalding of patients undergoing such treatment.
