Dear Radsafe,

      Hey you all,

           I was watching television last night and saw a news report about 
a 
     woman physician who is doing laser micro-surgery to treat 
quickly-growing
     brain tumors.  I think she was at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Medical
     Center in New York City <USA>.  She seems to be having early success.
     I guess she directs laser pulses at brain tumor tissue and burns the
     cancer out directly.  Wonder if this technique will surpass Boron 
Neutron
     Capture Therapy <BNCT> soon.  Hope her work succeeds.

          Have a great week!!!
