this is not a magic laser that only kills cancer cells.
You still must target the cancer cells, if the laser hits healthy cells, the healthy cells will die. What this does allow is precision due to the lack of heat that has plagued techniques in the past.
Jwinston2 is correct. The light would have to pass through tissue that would absorb it before it could reach the cancer cells. Look up a theory called Selective Thermolyosis. It will help a lot. There is no frequency of laser light that can pass through that much tissue without being absorbed.

that cancer part sounds interesting, this could be one of the most important inventions ever if it could cure cancer
