Introducing Marianne Kanzius
June 10, 2009, Erie Times News by David Bruce: Marianne Kanzius, widow of John Kanzius, talks about the future of the potential cancer-curing project her husband, John Kanzius invented.
 The day after John Kanzius died, a newspaper reporter showed up at his widow's winter home in Sanibel, Fla.
He asked Marianne Kanzius who was going to lead the Kanzius project, the development of her late husband's experimental cancer treatment device. "I said that I was," Kanzius said. "I was shocked that the words came out of my mouth."
Kanzius spent the past seven years caring for her husband, who had chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The Millcreek Township inventor died Feb. 18 from pneumonia.
Now she is caring for his brainchild, an external radio-frequency generator that emits radio waves that heat and kill cancer cells targeted with nanoparticles -- tiny pieces of metal. Read more about Marianne and the status of the research.
Kanzius Non-invasive Radio Wave Cancer Treatment
 Treating cancer more effectively and without the debilitating side effects associated with current therapies were the goals of John Kanzius when he began; the result is a novel radio wave generator that warms nanoparticles attached to or absorbed within cancer cells. The warming kills the cancer cells with little or no damage to nearby cells, thus dramatically reducing or eliminating side effects. And, the treatment is non-invasive without surgery or multiple insertions of probes. Destroying Cancer Cells with Radio Waves - Full Article
Published Research Establishes Design Metrics for Gold Nanoparticles
 May, 2009 Nano Research: Nano Research is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The May 2009 issue reports on research done in support of the Kanzius Non-invasive Radio Wave Cancer Treatment. The Abstract states: Capacitively coupled shortwave radiofrequency fields resistively heat low concentrations of gold nanoparticles. Smaller diameter gold nanoparticles heat at nearly twice the rate of larger diameter gold nanoparticles, which is attributed to the higher resistivity of smaller gold nanostructures. A Joule heating model has been developed to explain this phenomenon and provides critical insights into the rational design and engineering of nanoscale materials for noninvasive thermal therapy of cancer. By quantifying the amount of heat produced by gold nanoparticles as a function of size and concentration, this study establishes the critical design metrics necessary for formulating RF responsive nanoscale materials to enhance the noninvasive thermal destruction of cancer.

Kanzius Cancer Work Continues...New Steps to a Cure
May 13, 2009 Wink News, Ft. Myers, FL: The late John Kanzius left behind a method that is revolutionizing the way cancer is  treated. Kanzius died February 18th of complications from Leukemia, but his work continues and may one day change all of our lives. "This is just the tip of the iceberg and 2009 is going to be the pivotal year," said John Kanzius during a 2008 interview with WINK News Reporter Jennifer Stacy. Kanzius' prediction is proving to be correct. His innovative approach to treating cancer is inching closer to becoming a reality. To read the full article.
Arnold Palmer Commits to Helping Foundation
 April 12, 2009 Erie Times News: Steven Curley, M.D., principal researcher for the Kanzius project at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, recently met with golfing legend Arnold Palmer. Palmer, a cancer survivor and longtime cancer-research advocate, has said he is interested in Kanzius' device and might be willing to raise money for its research. "We're looking at doing something later in the summer," Curley said. "He has committed to raising money for this project, possibly through a pro-am or some other kind of golf tournament."

Dr. Steven Curley, Spring 2009 Update
May, 2009 MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.  Dr. Steven Curley reports work is progressing at a rapid pace to take the Kanzius Non-invasive Radio Wave Cancer Treatment to the next step…clinical trials involving large animals are set to begin in fall, 2009. Equipment for those trials is now being built by Industrial Sales and Manufacturing, Inc. in Erie, Pennsylvania.
A January, 2009 grant of $440,000 from the John Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation has been put to use with a significant increase in the research staff, and additional support of ongoing laboratory expenses at the MD Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston, Texas.

Love Golf...And Want to Help Fight Cancer?
 Here are golf tournaments planned this summer where you can do both!
Monday, July 13: Lakeview Country Club, North East, PA CANCER MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT. 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to the John Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation. Each golfer will play in memory of a loved one lost to cancer, or in honor of someone who is battling the disease today. For more information: eriegolflinks.com
Saturday, August 8: Venango Valley Golf Course---JIM "CIO" CIOTOLI MEMORIAL GOLF OUTING. For an entry form or for more information about this golf outing, please contact: Dennis Shannon 814-464-5462 or Kathy Ciotoli 814-440-9561.
Friday, August 14: Whispering Woods Golf Course, Erie, PA---DAVE CARPENTER MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT. For more information about this event, please contact: Paul Roach, 7860 Pagan Road, Erie, PA 16509 or visit the tournament web site: http://www.davecarpentergolf.com/
Saturday, September 19: SECOND ANNUAL DENNIS ROHDE MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT. Sugar Creek Golf Club, Fenton, Missouri. For more information, email golf@dennisrohde.com, or visit http://www.golfdigestplanner.com/12207-GolfForeLife/
Pulling for a Cure
 Saturday, July 11: Brown County, Wisconsin Fairgrounds. Pulling for a Cure. Strong man Matt Gunville will attempt to pull a semi as fast as he can for 120 feet. Last year, Matt raised $2,600 for the John Kanzius Foundation by pulling the semi 100 feet in 45 seconds.
