Celebrities like Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir David Frost are giving their support to a cancer charity demonstrating for a new type of treatment to be made available countrywide.

The eminent personalities are requesting people to come forward for medical trials of Photodynamic Therapy, which could bring a revolution in the UK and around the world.

Further trials into PDT will be funded. It is a treatment in which some forms of cancer are dealt by killing cells through a blend of drugs and light. A laser starves the cancer of oxygen, which consequently allows the body to repair and create new and healthy cells.

It is a 20-minute session, which helps in avoiding the need for invasive surgery as well as the shocking effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The supporters of the therapy shared that this treatment is cost-effective.

Chris Tarrant, Robert Plant, Jenny Seagrove and Roger Daltrey are other personalities who support the charity. They are sending emails to fans and supporters, asking them for funds to be allocated to their choice of about six PDT trials.

Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex said, “'I think PDT is an amazing first-step option before resorting to surgery. More patients should have access to it in our hospitals and the NHS should accept the charity's offer of equipment and training without delay”.
