Abstract
In a method for treating cancer, a tube is inserted into a patient, so that a distal end of the tube is disposed proximately to a tumor. A sclerosing agent such as a concentrated sugar solution is then fed through the tube into the patient and into the tumor. The tube can take the form of a catheter which is introduced into the patient through the patient's vascular system.
