The common dye found in blue jeans and also ballpoint pens is called phthalocyanine and is a light activated agent with cancer cell destroying properties.

Using nanotechnology, researcher found a way to inject phthalocyanine into the cancer cells. It'll bind and on activation, causes substantial cell death.
At this stage, it has only been performed on human cervical cells in the labotory, and the procedure is complicated and expensive. Scientist believe and hope that it'll be available for human trials within five years and it just need to be injected into the bloodstream or directly into a tumor.
