Richard,
What's your opinion on Radio Frequency as a viable cure for skin cancer-replacing the 50 yr old MOH's treatment?
Radio Frequencies; do you think using radio frequency to create heat within the diseased tissue is a viable treatment for skin cancers. No cutting involved; NASA among others, working with radio frequency for internal cancers using internal probes(cervical,prostate,etc).
The concept is hypothermia has been a viable treatment along with radiation for cancer tumors(studies have shown-raising the cure rate from 25% to 65% when added)the problem was the hypothermia would heat the entire body above blood temp causing irreparable damage. Now some companies have the ability to pin point the accuracy of the heat to destroy the diseased tissue leaving the healthy tissue undamaged.

Thanks
