Treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with very low levels of amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields
British Journal of Cancer (2011-08-09)American and Brazilian cancer researchers have succeeded in stabilizing and shrinking inoperable liver tumors with radiofrequency (RF) radiation that is no more powerful than that emitted by a typical cell phone. This is “exciting” news, said Boris Pasche of the University of Alabama medical school in Birmingham. Frederico Costa of the University of São Paulo medical school, Pasche’s collaborator, agrees. “We observed significant tumor shrinkage in 10% of patients.” Costa points out that this is five times the success rate of the best available chemotherapeutic drug —Sorafenib —and that “there are essentially no side effects.”

Costa and Pasche’s new findings were published by the British Journal of Cancer Costa is the director of clinical research at the Brazilian Institute for Research on Cancer in São Paulo. Pasche is the director of the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Not only could this new therapy revolutionize the treatment of liver cancer, it might also stimulate new respect for electromagnetic medicine, as well as prompt a major reevaluation of electromagnetic health risks, most especially with respect to the safety of cell phones.
