(CBS) John Kanzius invented a radio wave machine that he believed would one day cure cancer. He got cancer researchers so excited, some are
already testing it out on laboratory animals.
When 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl first met Kanzius, he told us he didn't have a background in science or medicine; he didn't even have a
college degree.
What he did have was a deadly form of leukemia and a determination to use whatever time he had left to come up with a better way to treat the
disease.
Using his wife's pie pans and what he knew best - radios - Kanzius, a former radio executive, built a machine in his garage that he hoped would zap
cancer cells without the horrible side effects you get with chemotherapy and radiation.

There does seem to be potential for this idea to be effective. The problem is that as it now stands, it can only be used against localized tumors by
injecting them with metallic particles which are then heated by radio waves. It cannot be used on metastasized cancers, at least not yet.
