Electromagnetic Fields Shrink Tumors<br />
New research shows that low-intensity fields<br />
can inhibit cancer cell proliferation.<br />
By Bob Grant | The Scientist | January 11, 2012<br />
Researchers have demonstrated that small doses <strong>of</strong><br />
electromagnetism can shrink liver and breast<br />
cancer cells without harming surrounding<br />
tissues, according to a report published recently<br />
in the British Journal <strong>of</strong> Cancer.<br />

An international team, led by University <strong>of</strong> Alabama at Birmingham oncologist Boris<br />
Pasche, has shown that low-intensity electromagnetic fields can slow the proliferation<br />
<strong>of</strong> and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, which are involved with a deadly form <strong>of</strong><br />
liver cancer, and breast cancer cells. “This is a truly novel technique,” Pasche told<br />
The Guardian. “It is innocuous, can be tolerated for long periods <strong>of</strong> time, and could be<br />
used in combination with other therapies.”<br />
In August, Pasche and his colleagues published a British Journal <strong>of</strong> Cancer paper<br />
showing that they could slow tumor growth in some HCC patients by treating them<br />
with low-level electromagnetic fields on a regular basis. In total, 41 patients received<br />
the treatments… after 6 months <strong>of</strong> treatment, tumor growth in 14 <strong>of</strong> those patients had<br />
stabilized, and none experienced negative side effects.<br />
