Woman in Colorado with stage four had tumor removed with this procedure....Not much detail but sounds promising:

9news.com/local/article/231583/346/Denver-woman-one-of-few-to-try-new-cancer-treatment

(almost as lengthy as article itself) or,

is this the same thing as some other procedure but with a different name here?

As i don;t think above is accessible, try this one on a spray used during surgery that lights up cancer cells.....Currently being tried with ovarian but see no reason why can't be used in future for CRC........:

I couldn't get to the webpage about nanoknife. I have heard of it and it sounds very promising. I believe that I read that about 30 hospitals in the US has this technology.

The one place in California people can get nanoknife is at UCI Medical Center in Irvine, CA (southern Calif, Orange County). I consulted with the doctor there over the phone re. my recurrent rectal tumor, but found out I'm not a candidate for it (for that particular tumor, anyhow).
