New Cancer Therapy on the Horizon?
Cancer-killing waves gain national attention
By David Templeton, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
John Kanzius is going prime time with his promising invention for cancer treatment.
Leslie Stahl will interview the Washington County native, who invented a radiofrequency (RF) generator four years ago to treat cancer, and tell his story tomorrow on CBS Television's "60 Minutes."
"It has gone from a Western Pennsylvania story to a major international story with the '60 Minutes' piece," Mr. Kanzius said from his home in Sanibel Island, Fla.
Successful inventions often end up with more uses than baking soda, and that may be the case with the Kanzius RF generator.
When he developed it years ago, his sole intent was a cancer treatment that worked without side effects.
So far, so good.
Research on his invention is on a fast track at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The growing body of research proves his generator thermally kills cancer cells spiked with RF-reactive nanoparticles.
But last year, Mr. Kanzius discovered his RF generator also burns salt water. When Rustum Roy, a Penn State University water expert and chemist, saw it demonstrated on a YouTube video, he traveled to the laboratory that Mr. Kanzius uses in Erie to witness it firsthand.
