Electromagnetic Enhancement of Cancer Cells as Biomarkers for Nano Theranostics

Abstract

Abstract"Theranostics" refers to therapy and diagnosis. This paper presents a new method for therapy or diagnosis (or both) for malignant tumors. The underlying premise is that cancer cells with their supernumerary centrioles have a significantly higher electromagnetic field than that of normal cells. This enhanced field can then serves as a "biomarker" or target for the attraction of nanoparticles -specifically: Super Paramagnetic Nanoparticles (SPIONS) which can provide the desired theranostics. Divided into nine sections, the paper provides the bases for these assertions.

Nanoparticle Treatment of Cancer

“…The proposed nanoparticles are superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIONs) which are attracted to the magnetic field surrounding the tumors. The SPIONs can carry toxins which will kill the tumor cells [5], or alternatively by vibration can thermally kill the tumor cells.…”
