A Proposal on Anticancer Therapy Based on Reversal of Entropy Flow through Magnetic Field

Abstract

The entropy production rate of cancer cell is always higher than healthy cell under the case of no external field applied. Different entropy production between two kinds of cells determines the direction of entropy flow among cells. The entropy flow is the carrier of information flow. The entropy flow from cancers to healthy cells would take along the harmful information of cancerous cell, propagating its toxic action to healthy tissues. We demonstrate that an alternating magnetic field of moderate frequency may induce increasing entropy production rate in normal tissue around the tumor, consequently reverse the direction of entropy current. The reversal of entropy flow in biological tissue under magnetic field can avoid the propagation of harmful information from cancer cells. We suggest that this entropy mechanism possibly provides a basis for a novel approach to physiotherapy of anticancer.
