Enhanced Antiproliferative Activity of Docetaxel by Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells.

This in vitro study tested whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, 20 mT) enhance docetaxel effects in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with docetaxel produced a similar reduction in cell viability at a lower docetaxel concentration than docetaxel alone,…

The exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic-fields inhibits the growth and potentiates the sensitivity to chemotherapy of bidimensional and tridimensional human osteosarcoma models.

This in vitro study tested a specific extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on three human osteosarcoma cell lines grown in 2D and 3D spheroid models. The abstract reports that ELF-EMF exposure inhibited proliferation and altered mitochondrial metabolism in the cancer models. It also reports…
