ABSTRACT:
Frequency selective radiation therapy providing selective tissue damage or necrosis by irradiating a component element of the target tissue at the corresponding Mossbauer absorption frequency. The component radiation absorption at the Mossbauer absorption frequency is thus enhanced many times over the absorption of the surrounding tissue having a different Mossbauer absorption frequency. The energy thusly absorbed by the target tissue component is converted to and remitted as Auger electrons, which provide intranuclear radiation resulting in lethal double strand breaks in the DNA molecules of the target tissue. The therapy is administered in frequency and tissue selective modes of treatment, and may be combined with conventional chemotherapeutic agents to provide a further enhanced treatment modality. Moreover, the source frequency can be adjusted to enhance the killing effect. The therapy method and apparatus according to the present invention is useful in combination with naturally occurring or administered pharmaceutical stable isotope absorbers, having significantly reduced side effects by comparison to conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
