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.
Also in researchgate you can find my article fundamentals of the double edged approach...
