Treating Breast Cancer

We are pursuing an exciting theory. We believe that Applied Photo Mechanics technology might treat breast cancer and other cancers by destroying the specific DNA of a cancerous lesion. To reproduce itself, DNA must be coiled in a double helix. When DNA is heated, it unravels into a random coil and can no longer copy itself. This approach should theoretically stop the cancer from growing. When existing cancer cells die, the patient might be cured—without the side effects and uncertainties of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
