Canadian teenager Jack Campanile had a benign tumor on his leg tumor called osteoid osteoma, which caused him great amounts of pain. The traditional method of removing osteoid osteoma involves invasive surgery that would cut open his leg, and remove both the tumor and the effected area of bone the tumor impacted, a very painful process with a long recovery time. A new procedure developed at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada uses a combination of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that destroys the tumor, without pain or breaking the skin. Campanile had the procedure on July 17 and by the time he went to bed in the evening, the pain the tumor had caused for the previous year had completely subsided. This new procedure presents a great promise for more effective and less invasive cancer treatment.
