This review examines temperature-independent (non-thermal) effects of RF and microwave electromagnetic fields, emphasizing antiproliferative effects relevant to oncology. It summarizes preclinical and clinical literature on conventional RF hyperthermia and amplitude-modulated RF hyperthermia and argues that evidence…

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…
