Using Radio Waves to Kill Cancer

Inventor John Kanzius has come up with a way to kill cancer cells using radio waves that heat and kill targeted cancer cells. Here's how it works:

A patient is injected with tiny metal nano-particles, which are carried through the bloodstream by a targeting molecule and attach only to cancerous cells. The patient is then exposed to an energy field created by radio waves; the nano-particles generate enough heat to destroy their cancerous host cell. The patient feels nothing at all.

The big challenge is targeted cancer cells. Kanzius thinks he solved that by using nano-particles as receivers.

Says Dr. Steven Curley, a surgical oncologist and cancer researcher at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, "This has the most fascinating potential I've seen in anything in my twenty years of cancer research."

Kanzius and Curley are raising more money for testing and study. I really like Kanzius. I think he's onto something.
