Could someone tell me any specific cation which have a role to kill the tumor cells, without magnetic or photo-thermal use?
It is not a question of cations but membrane proteins that transport cations. For example blocking NHE-1 that extrudes hidrogen and imports Na, has a clear anti cancer effects. Think of pH balance instead of cations. Producing intracellular acidity decreases tumor proliferation. You can do that blocking NHE1 or carbonic anhydrases 9 and 12 or using topiramate.
Tomas Koltai : Dear Dr. Koltai, I am very new to this field. Hence, would it be possible for you to suggest me some literature where I can learn more?
Dear Anish
In Seminars in Cancer Biology 2017 april Volume 43 you will find the whole issue dedicated to pH homeostasis and cation alterations in cancer.
