  1. I have recently thought of new way to possibly treat cancer. This technique works by directly starving the tumor of its blood supply. This method works by finding out through imaging techniques exactly what small arteries are directly feeding the targeted tumor with blood. Once the arteries are identified, the arteries are injected with something that would cause the blood in the arteries to clot, forming a dam in the artery that prevents more blood from flowing through. This would prevent blood from getting to the tumor long enough for the tumor to die. One possible problem I have thought of for this procedure is if the blood clots formed in the arteries cause too much damage to the arteries for them to regenerate enough later. If the affected artery tissue is small enough then maybe this won't be a problem. Anyone, let me know what you think of this possible cancer treatment. Let me know if you think it could work and if not what's wrong with it.
