This guy seems to be looking for a way to get metal to the tumor ..
This was proposed long ago by heating up the iron in the cancer cell.

For most, a cancer diagnosis can be devastating.
But, as CBS News contributor Benno Schmidt reported on The Early Show
Monday, for John Kanzius, it was a call to action.
Kanzius isn't a doctor. He doesn't even have a college degree.
Yet, observes Schmidt, the device he invented has impressed a notable
researcher and inspired his hometown, Erie, Pa., to the point where it
gave him a key to the city in April.
Asked by Schmidt what made him think he could cure cancer, Kanzius
replied with a laugh, "What made me think I couldn't cure cancer?
Nobody else was doing it!"
A former radio and TV engineer and one-time station owner, Kanzius,
who suffers from leukemia, hated his chemotherapy and saw its
devastating effect on others.
"I ran into some of the same patients over and over again and, to see
their smiles disappear within a few weeks, and then watch their hair
disappear and then, clinging to their mothers asking, 'What's wrong
with me?' was heartbreaking."
Kanzius, who'd been building radios since childhood, believed radio
waves could somehow be harnessed to destroy cancer, without drugs or
invasive surgery.
"I envision this treatment taking no more than a couple of minutes or
so," he says.
Kanzius hopes cancer treatments could work something like this: A
patient would be injected with tiny metal nano-particles, which would
be carried through the bloodstream by a targeting molecule and attach
only to cancerous cells. The patient would then be exposed to an
energy field created by radio waves, and feel nothing, while the nano-
particles would generate enough heat to destroy their cancerous host
cell.
While noting that targeting cancer cells will be the biggest
challenge, Kanzius demonstrated just how easily the nano-particles
could be used as receivers.
A lab worker injected carbon nano-particles into a specific spot in a
piece of liver, which was then placed into an energy field of low
frequency radio waves.
Within seconds, the areas injected the with nano-particles were heated
to the point of actually cooking the liver, while leaving the
surrounding meat unscathed.
Kanzius' invention has caught the attention of Dr. Steven Curley, a
surgical oncologist and cancer researcher at MD Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston.
"This has the most fascinating potential I've seen in anything in my
twenty years of cancer research," Curley told Schmidt.
Curley has developed current methods of using radio frequencies to
attack cancer, but says he looks forward to one day using a non-
invasive approach like the one Kanzius is working on.
"This," Curley says, "is what will get into the cancer cells and again
… release heat that will kill the cancer cells."
He wouldn't reveal animal test results on camera, but says he's
optimistic that his findings will be announced this fall.
In the meantime, he's joined Kanzius in an effort to raise awareness
and funds to expedite further research.
The April symposium at which Kanzius got the key to Erie brought out
700 people who were not only enthused by the prospect of curing
cancer, but having their city as the manufacturing hub of the device
Kanzius invented.
Former Erie Mayor Joyce Savocchio remarks, "I always say to John
Kanzius, he'd better practice Swedish, because I honestly believe he's
going to be in Sweden accepting the Nobel Prize!"
Savocchio leads the fundraising efforts in Erie and says, since the
machine would be built there, Erie cud benefit, big-time.
"The projected income," she points out, "should this be successful, is
anywhere between $2.5 billion and $10 billion a year."
Experts say human trials using Kanzius' device are at least three
years away, but Kanzius is undaunted, telling Schmidt, "I'd like to
see the first patient treated wile I'm still alive, and to have the
doctor tell them they're cured!
As for Kanzius himself - Schmidt says his health is considered stable,
and he continues to undergo chemotherapy for his leukemia.
