Jul 13, 2014 at 6:08 comment added user128932 The point of narrow beams of microwaves that intersect at a tumor would be to reduce non-tumor cell death and decrease side effects.
Apr 30, 2014 at 10:47 comment added user1357 @user128932 i'm sorry i dont know...i'm not really a fan of any radiation as a treatment and haven't studied it my focus is chems.
Apr 30, 2014 at 8:03 comment added user128932 If one used beams of microwaves that intersect at a point where a tumor is so the intersection point is very hot yet all the other part of the beams that don't intersect are not hot ; could this destabilize the tumor without hurting surrounding cells ?
Apr 29, 2014 at 14:49 comment added user1357 @user128932 yes cancer cells before they are exposed and adapt to treatments are very unstable. Chemotherapy exploits this.
Apr 29, 2014 at 6:20 comment added user128932 If cancer cells are susceptible to heat-shock but normal cells are not ( if I'm correct) does this mean cancer cells exist on the 'fringe' of cellular stability? If a certain disease or virus attacked liver cells would it affect any cancerous liver cells first?
