still a great story though. Good for her and hopefully her research will eventually bring us closer to an actual cure.

That's some good news!
I found another article that described her approach:

Green worked on a cancer therapy in which gold nanoparticles are injected into tumors. When lasers are directed at the nanoparticles, the particles start to vibrate and warm up, destroying the tumor cells with heat. Because the treatment is delivered locally, it does not affect the surrounding healthy cells.
