Researchers use nanotech to battle cancer 9:28 SA,28/10/2013

Research teams at MIT and Cornell take different tacks with nanotech research Two universities this week announced that researchers in the schools have made advances in fighting cancer by using nanotechnology. A Cornell University research team paired nano particles with infrared heat to kill colorectal cancer cells, while MIT scientists are tackling breast cancer by using nano particles to carry chemotherapy drugs along with a genetic messenger to weaken the cancer's resistance to the medicine. The MIT researchers said the new attack method enabled the shrinking of breast tumors in mice. The team believes the method can be used to treat other kinds of cancers as well. Computerworld
