Summary

This Study evaluates the effectiveness of Hypertonic Saline Bath in reducing the Cancer nodules' size, number and SUVmax.

Detailed description

Many previous studies have shown that the Cancer cells are over-hydrated, and that Hyponatraemia exists in many cases of Cancer. The Cancer cell's viability depends on Angiogenesis and formation of blood vessels that carry water and nutrient to the rapidly-dividing Cancer cells. This study tests the hypothesis that disrupting the water content of blood could lead to increasing its Tonicity and hence withdrawing water from the Cancer cells by Osmosis, which can result in disrupting the growth of the Cancer cell itself. This disruption of Blood Water content can be achieved using Osmotic Pressure differential via immersing the whole body in Hypertonic Saline Solution for a certain amount of time, thus making the Blood more Hypertonic relative to the cells of the body and of the cancer, leading to water withdrawal from the cells of the body and of the cancer. While body's cells can sustain temporary dehydration, Cancer cells could be negatively affected.
