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 />
