This census-based cohort study in Switzerland examined modeled RF-EMF exposure from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer risk using two cohort approaches. Across analyses, no association was reported for all cancers or childhood leukemia. Findings for CNS tumors were inconsistent, and the incidence density…

This prospective Dutch cohort (120,852 participants; 17.3 years follow-up) examined occupational ELF magnetic field exposure and incidence of several cancers. No associations were reported for lung, breast, or brain cancer across multiple exposure metrics. In men, high occupational exposure was associated with…

This study tested noninvasive 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric fields as a treatment adjunct for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in cell lines and mouse xenograft models. The authors report RF exposure caused cytotoxicity in PDAC cells via autophagy (not apoptosis) and that normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells…

This animal study evaluated a therapeutic 120 Hz pulsed EMF device (10–20 mT) in C3H mice bearing implanted murine mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Across seven treated groups, EMF exposure over 12 days was reported to suppress tumor growth, with specific dose/time regimens described as most effective. The authors also…

This paper describes an engineering device for wireless microscopy using a mobile phone and a WiFi system. The system allows recording, displaying, and storing microscopic images from a remote end via wireless LAN. Conceptual demonstrations are reported for monitoring common objects and liver cancer cells, with…

This study evaluated mobile phone use as a tool to improve cancer care follow-up and communication in a low-resource Nigerian setting. Among 1176 oncology patients, sustained follow-up at 24 months was reported as much higher in those receiving the phone intervention than in those who did not. Patients also reported…

This engineering study describes a handheld microfluidic preconcentrator that uses dielectrophoresis generated by circular microelectrodes with a stepping electric field. Numerical simulations were used to illustrate the electric-field concept. In experiments, HeLa cells were reportedly preconcentrated within 160…

This animal study evaluated whether magnetic field exposure affects breast tumor growth and viability in mice injected with breast cancer cells. Tumor growth was monitored in real time using luciferase labeling and an in vivo imaging system. The authors report that 360 minutes of daily magnetic field exposure for up…

This in vitro study reports that shortwave (MHz-range) RF exposure can induce strong cytotoxicity in EGFR-overexpressing human cancer cells when those cells have internalized cetuximab-targeted gold nanoparticles. Control nanoparticles showed minimal uptake and substantially lower cytotoxicity under RF exposure. An…
