]]> This anti-cancer plaster could change cancer treatment forever.For all the nifty little gadgets in the world, it’s always the medical devices that make my jaw drop. Take this glowing piece of plaster. Not only does it track cancer, it kills cancerous cells in less than one tenth the time a typical radiation treatment might take.

The substance, which is currently being tested by Polymetronics in Oxfordshire, could even be used as an outpatient device. The device is simple, composed of OLEDs and powered by a small battery pack. A light-sensitive cream applied under the device reacts with the light emissions and attacks your cancer cells. Get your plaster applied, tuck the battery into your pocket, and you could be good to go, off to play some golf while curing yourself of those pesky cancer cells.
