Abstract

The aim of this communication is to introduce a new opportunity to the medical community in the realm of tumour therapy. The article itself presents a theoretical exposition - into the irradiation of cancerous tumours with charged polyatomic chemical species present in hot plasmas - which could be supported by empirical studies and compared with contemporary charged particle therapy (CPT). The model presented in this communication is a simulated one, based on “molecular irradiation”, and could be of benefit to cancer research.
