Question:

Know anything about intersecting lasers?

I remember on television a few years ago (the source of all true knowledge, yes?) some discussion on unorthodox and developing cancer treatments. Among those discussed was this one:

Two precise lasers beams, which, on their own, are harmless to human tissue, are intersected at certain points in areas of cancerous growth. The combination of the lasers is supposedly enough to destroy pinpointed cancer cells. I don't know how accurate this was supposed to be (on a cellular level?), but I found it an interesting idea.

I know little about lasers; is this a scientifically sound idea? If so, and assuming the tv show wasn't bogus, has anyone heard of any further pursuit of this idea?

  1. Lasers have been widely used in medicine for years. Intersecting lasers is just a more precise method for cutting.
