Oncologists may have a new way to kill cancer — by bombing the crap out of your insides.

The current procedure goes like this: Oncologists surgically remove as much of a tumor as possible, then follow up that procedure with chemotherapy to get rid of any cancer cells still hanging out in the body. These are what’s called microscopic residual disease, which can still metastasize and kill you. The problem, though, is that trying to eliminate the leftovers doesn’t always work, and cancer can recur.

A paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology details an answer to that problem. Researchers from Rice University in Texas found that they could use nanoparticles sort of like Trojan horses to get inside a growing tumor and make it explode from the inside.
