Female breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive type and there is no existing endocrine or targeted therapy. Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) is a non-invasive complementary cancer therapy using an electromagnetic field generated by amplitude modulated 13.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality and lacks modern therapy options. Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) is an adjuvant therapy with demonstrated clinical efficacy for the treatment of various cancer types. In this study, we report that mEHT monotherapy stimulated interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression, and consequently cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), which may favor a cancer-promoting tumor microenvironment.

The deposition of calcium phosphate on the nanofiber surfaces was investigated through scanning electronic microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Energy dispersive spectroscopy results indicated that calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite had grown on the fibers.
