On Cryogenic Cancer Treatment

One wonders about non-invasive cancer treatments such as cryogenic technology provides. Recently someone described the origin of chemo-therapy in the concept of chemical war with the assault upon individual cells instead of just any. With the tradition of surgical removal of cancerous growths along with radiation (see Solzschenitysn's Dostoyevsky-like book 'The Cancer Ward' for 1950's era radiation treatment in a Soviet Hospital) and the modern modification of cellular structures regulating growth there may be more agents to combat cancer available than presently.

Still, we wonder if the search for mass produced cancer cures equally search for low cost methods appropriate for delivery of relief to the billions that cannot afford health care. Freezing cancerous tumors away with liquid nitrogen may be a quick remedy, and improvements in delivery of tumor killing cold is perhaps an ongoing work.
