In 2008, John Kanzius developed a revolutionary idea of using radio waves to treat cancer. He developed a working prototype of his design in his garage. He then modified his idea, and his machine, to incorporate new technology involving micromolecules and metal atoms in order to isolate cancer cells. His idea was to inject the metallic atoms into a cancerous tumor and they would then attach to all cancerous cells in the surrounding area. The atoms would even spread throughout the body, even reaching out to cancerous cells that had metastasized. The patient would then enter a radio wave machine which would then heat only the cells with the metallic atoms, killing them. The novel idea is now in its animal-testing stage.

I think this idea has the potential to effectively treat cancer. The fact that the treatment would isolate only the cancerous cells, and would not target healthy cells, which is one of the issues with chemotherapy, makes it very selective in its approach. It also greatly reduces the nausea and other symptoms that are normally associated with cancer treatment as it is not attacking healthy cells. The fact that this treatment would also be able to reach out and kill the cancer cells that had metastasized to other parts of the body means that all cancer cells can be, effectively, eliminated, removing all cancer from the patient. These two facts make this treatment a very promising possibility in the fight against caner.
