Researchers at the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan have developed a prototype of a system that can be used to treat cancer without chemotherapy or invasive surgery.
According to an announcement, the unit consists of a Frequency-Adjustable High Frequency Induction Heating Machine (HFIHM) and 3D Magnetically Guiding Endoscope System (3DMGES). The machine induces heat in nano-magnetic particles to raise the temperature of a tumor. When the tumor reaches 41.5°C to 46°C (107°F to 115°F), the malignant cells are killed while preserving normal cells. The 3-D endoscope allows for a wide range of motion with accurate precision to reduce the overall operating time and pain for the patient.
