摘要
A new method of cancer treatment is proposed, based on the unique magnetic properties of ferritin iron core which, in alternating magnetic field of frequency similar to 100 kHz, is easily heated to temperatures sufficiently high to destroy neoplastic cells containing an excess of this protein, without damaging the normal cells.
