60 Minutes had in interesting story on this guy who has possibly invented a machine that could take out cancer with no side effects to the individual.
Basically, he knew that radio waves could heat up metallic objects without harming human flesh. So, he thought – what if you injected cancer cells with a metallic substance, and used radio waves to “kill” the cancer – without harming surrounding tissue. Initial tests seem to be working for localized cells.
If the cancer has spread, though, the “metallic substance” needs to be ultra-small and target just the cancer cells. This is where nano-technology comes in. If they can use metallic nano-particles to target cancer cells, then that would be the ultimate cure.

The Kanzius Machine: A Cancer Cure?, Inventor Tells 60 Minutes He Hopes To Live Long Enough To See Machine Cure Humans – CBS News:
“What if we told you that a guy with no background in science or medicine-not even a college degree-has come up with what may be one of the most promising breakthroughs in cancer research in years?
Well it’s true, and if you think it sounds improbable, consider this: he did it with his wife’s pie pans and hot dogs.
His name is John Kanzius, and he’s a former businessman and radio technician who built a radio wave machine that has cancer researchers so enthusiastic about its potential they’re pouring money and effort into testing it out.
Here’s the important part: if clinical trials pan out-and there’s still a long way to go-the Kanzius machine will zap cancer cells all through your body without the need for drugs or surgery and without side effects. None at all. At least that’s the idea.
…
It was during one of those sleepless nights that the light bulb went off. When he was young, Kanzius was one of those kids who built radios from scratch, so he knew the hidden power of radio waves. Sick from chemo, he got out of bed, went to the kitchen, and started to build a radio wave machine.
‘Started looking in the cupboard and I saw pie pans and I said, ‘These are perfect. I can modify these,” he recalled.
His wife Marianne woke up that night to a lot of banging and clamoring. ‘I was concerned truthfully that he had lost it,’ she told Stahl.
‘She felt sorry for me,’ Kanzius added.
‘I did,’ Marianne Kanzius acknowledged. ‘And I had mentioned to him, ‘Honey, the doctors can’t-you know, find an answer to cancer. How can you think that you can?” “
