Literature review: potential non-thermal molecular effects of external radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on cancer by Anna Dieper, Stephan Scheidegger, Rudolf M. Füchslin, Paraskevi D. Veltsista, Ulrike Stein, Mathias Weyland, Dominik Gerster, Marcus Beck, Olof Bengtsson, Daniel Zips, Pirus Ghadjar

“…Several cellular mechanisms were identified through which RF-EMF radiation potentially imposes its anti-cancer effects. Among those, by reviewing the included publications, we identified RF-EMF-induced ion channel activation, altered gene expression, altered membrane potentials, membrane oscillations, and blebbing, as well as changes in cytoskeletal structure and cell morphology.Conclusion The existent literature points toward a yet untapped therapeutic potential of RF-EMF treatment, which might aid in damaging cancer cells through bio-electrical and electro-mechanical molecular mechanisms while minimizing adverse effects on healthy tissue cells. …”
