The Sticking Plaster Cancer Cure
新疗法贴膏药治皮肤癌
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.
这种皮肤癌疗法不需要微管介导，也不需要止痛注射，只要一种无害的乳霜和一种特别的膏药就可以了。
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 .
在这种设备内部，一个微小的LED灯泡激活药物中的有害化学物质，杀死患病细胞。这种名为“Ambulight”的新型发光贴膏装置的工作原理是，含有钝性的化学物质的乳霜被涂抹到皮肤上，被癌细胞吸收，而正常的组织则不会吸收。三个小时后，膏药中的光线自动转化为定时，将化学物质转化为破坏性的药物，杀死癌细胞，而健康的细胞不受影响。
"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."
“该疗法我们已经完成了80%至90%的观察，我们希望通过查看光线的不同传送方法来使这种疗法最优化，所以还有很大的改进空间。”
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.
这种疗法叫做光动力学疗法，在医院得到越来越广泛的使用，但是目前为止还需要这种笨重的灯泡，将这种科技融入膏药。使用起来非常简单，病人可以前往手术中心贴上膏药，然后回家持续治疗就可以了。
