Global Resource, a West Berlin, NJ-based microwave device developer, reported that it has completed its filing for U.S. and international patents for microwave thermotherapy technology for treating cancerous tumors, particularly breast tumors.
The firm said the process involves injecting saline into the cancerous tumor and allowing the saline to sit for a predetermined period of time. The tumor would then be hit with triangulated, target-specific, low-voltage microwaves using the company's patent-pending microwave frequencies.
Within a set period of time, the temperature of the tumor should reach 110° F (61.1° C) and the cancerous cells will die. The temperature control on the microwaves would be regulated to ensure minimal discomfort to the patient.
It is expected that after the cancerous cells are controlled, heated, and eliminated, the body will pass the remaining matter through its system, the company said.
