A method for destroying a cancerous tumor. The method includes putting two electrodes of an electrical probe in contact with a portion of the cancerous tumor, plotting an impedance phase diagram by measuring a set of electrical impedance phase values from the portion of the cancerous tumor at end of a respective set of pre-determined time steps, destroying cancer cells of the portion of the cancerous tumor within each time step of the respective set of pre-determined time steps by electrolyzing peripheral medium surrounding the cancer cells of the portion of the cancerous tumor by applying a direct current (DC) voltage between the two electrodes, and stopping destroying of the cancer cells responsive to a complete destruction of the portion of the cancerous tumor, where the complete destruction includes obtaining a positive slope of the impedance phase diagram (IPS). |
