Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields Cause Non-Temperature-Induced Physical and Biological Effects in Cancer Cells

" Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are used for tumor heating as adjunct therapy, but it appears that sufficient temperatures can sometimes not be reached. We therefore aimed to study potential non-temperature-induced anticancer effects when adding amplitude modulation to the radiofrequency waves. We could demonstrate in a colorectal cancer model that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields do have anticancer effects when not being induced by increased temperature that can be further increased by amplitude modulation. Therefore, this treatment could potentially serve as a more effective tumor therapy." {Credits 1}
