Part 6/11:
Led by Associate Professor Alfredo Franco Obregon, the innovative Onco FTX device offers a non-invasive method to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness. Traditional chemotherapy, while powerful, also damages healthy tissues. In contrast, this new technology uses localized low-energy magnetic fields, delivered externally, to induce metabolic catastrophe specifically in cancer cells.
How It Works
Women lying face down on a specially designed bed insert their affected breast into a coil system that emits gentle magnetic fields. These fields overwhelm cancer cells, pushing them toward a metabolic meltdown without harming surrounding healthy tissues. The process is akin to giving the cancer cells a systemic "meltdown," leading to better tumor control.
