Specifically Targeted Electromagnetic Fields Arrest Proliferation of Glioblastoma Multiforme U-87 Cells in Culture.

Background/aim: Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive primary tumor that arises in the glial cells of the brain. Standardized first-line treatment has considerable morbidity and less than one-year median survival after intervention. Ultra-low intensity electromagnetic fields have been shown to interact with biological organisms without anticipated deleterious side-effects.
