I've read of nanotechnology/nanoparticles
(which I think is very promising)but not thru use of an endoscope(makes sense tho). Certain attachments (also nano in size) to nano-transporter can differentiate cancerous from healthy cells and then deliver a nano dose of chemo that hopefully will not affect healthy cells as much as current chemo does while also destroying the cancer.....steve0 -

Hi all,
MIT has also been working with gold nanoparticles as a drug delivery system. I believe the last sentence of the paragraph excerpt below is referring to the experimental Kanzius Machine at MD Anderson. So, if you're interested, here is the link to the MIT News Office site.

"Gold nanoparticles — tiny spheres of gold just a few billionths of a meter in diameter — have become useful tools in modern medicine. They’ve been incorporated into miniature drug-delivery systems to control blood clotting, and they’re also the main components of a device, now in clinical trials, that is designed to burn away malignant tumors."
Take care,
