1 Magnetic Fields and Cancer
Inhibition of Cancer Growth Rates.

2 Paper from Wake Forrest
We also show that AM RF EMF antiproliferative effects and down-regulation of cancer stem cells in both hepatitis B virus positive and negative HCC cells are mediated by Ca2+ influx through Cav3.2 T-type voltage-gated calcium channel (CACNA1H). This finding establishes a key functional role for Cav3.2 in control of HCC proliferation, and furthermore establishes this transmembrane protein complex as the main cellular target for HCC-specific AM RF EMF.

3 Cav3.2 T-type VGCCs mediate targeted blockade and myofibroblast differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma 2 by tumor-specific AM RF EMF Delivery of amplitude-modulated MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (AM RF EMF) by means of a spoon-shaped applicator placed on the patient’s tongue yields either tumour shrinkage or disease stabilization in 49% of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the mechanism of action is unknown. We show that HCC-specific AM RF EMF-mediated tumour shrinkage occurs through differentiation of HCC cells into quiescent myofibroblasts. We also show that AM RF EMF antiproliferative effects and down-regulation of cancer stem cells in both hepatitis B virus positive and negative HCC cells are mediated by Ca2+ influx through Cav3.2 T-type voltage-gated calcium channel (CACNA1H). This finding establishes a key functional role for Cav3.2 in control of HCC proliferation, and furthermore establishes this transmembrane protein complex as the main cellular target for HCC-specific AM RF EMF.

9 Summary 1. They show you can use an RF carrier to distribute low frequency signals through out the body and get desired biological changes. 2. The frequency of modulation is important and changes in time.
