Krosnar, Katka. "Controversial Cancer Treatment Sparks Row." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. 27 Apr. 2002. n.p. Web. 28 Sept. 2011.
This article describes how a form of cancer treatment, called the "devitalization" treatment, has been experimented with and discussed over. The treatment consists of "strangling" the tumor inside of the body and then leaving it inside. Some argue that leaving the dead tumor in the body could lead to infection, but the doctor who came up with the treatment argues otherwise and suggests that it helps treat cancer. The author's intent for this article was to inform people of one of many treatments for cancer and the intended audience would most likely be people researching on this topic. This author has a semi-apparent bias of not believing this treatment to be a beneficial one. This article is sort of helpful in providing information on cancer research, but not extremely.
This topic doesnt really strike my interest, so I dont think it would be a very good topic for me. But it would be a good one for people wanting to know about different cancer treatments.
