Exposing the cell to a hypotonic solution can cause the cell to take on water and explode. Ideally, tumor cells take on the water and explode. Thus, there are fewer cells available to cause a recurrence of the tumor. Studies do not show that this is necessarily an effective technique, but in theory it would work.
