Fotobiomodulación, Bioelectricidad, CáncerResumen
Las células tumorales difieren de las células normales no solo en términos genéticos y bioquímicos, sino también en sus propiedades eléctricas, dieléctricas y energéticas. Este artículo propone un marco teórico en el cual los tumores sólidos son tratados como sistemas electrodinámicos disipativos, caracterizados por alta conductividad iónica, microambiente ácido, metabolismo intensivo y circuitería celular funcionalmente inestable. Se argumenta que la aplicación combinada de campos eléctricos exógenos transdérmicos de baja tensión y alta frecuencia, junto con la fotobiomodulación en el infrarrojo cercano (~850 nm), puede actuar como una perturbación física capaz de aumentar el costo energético tumoral, inducir estrés oxidativo y comprometer la estabilidad electrometabólica del sistema tumoral. El trabajo no propone protocolos terapéuticos, sino que organiza conceptos físicos y biológicos existentes en un modelo coherente, falsificable y orientado a la investigación futura.
