There may be a future way of destroying cancer without the use of chemotherapy. On a segment of Dr. Sanjay Gupta's weekend show house call, a man named John Kanzius may have found a more humane way of fighting cancer. He is retired in Sanibel Island and instead of relaxing he is currently suffering from leukemia. He worked in the radio industry, and came up with a theory for helping others suffering with cancer. He got out his wife's pots and pans along with some transmitters and started to build a machine. Then he took his invention to his oncologist.
Mr. Kanzius's invention is very interesting and will make a huge turn around in cancer treatment everywhere. His Oncologist took the invention to a cancer surgeon and he also agrees that this could change everything. Mr. Kanzius's cancer invention works by injecting microscopic metal pieces into the cancerous tumors, and then direct radio waves in that will heat up the metal, which will burn up the cancer cells destroying them. The doctors have realized that Mr. Kanzius's invention can treat many different types of cancer, except one as severe as the one that he is suffering from, because leukemia is cancer of the blood making the cancer cells to be virtually everywhere. This makes treating this type of cancer with his invention difficult to do right now. It will take four to six years for his invention to be upgraded and go through patenting. Hopefully with time Mr. Kanzius might find a way to fix his invention to also work for leukemia patients as well.
