Abstract

A Static Magnetic Field in the form of a permanent magnet was applied to participants in an investigational protocol to determine the toxicity and safety profile of the magnetic field in participants receiving antineoplastic chemotherapy for advanced cancer. The magnet was placed 15 minutes prior to starting the antineoplastic chemotherapy and then remained in place for three levels following completion of the therapy for 0, 15, and 30 minutes. The data showed that overall, the presence of a static magnetic field could be applied safely to individuals receiving antineoplastic chemotherapy for advanced cancer, and for participants in the Level 3 Group (magnet applied for 30 minutes), there was a statistically significant decrease in toxicity compared to matched controls. We were not able to determine if the static magnet field had an effect on survival. Our data suggests that applying a static magnetic field to individuals receiving antineoplastic chemotherapy for advanced cancer is safe and may, under certain parameters, decrease the toxicity of the therapy. Further studies should be conducted.

静磁场在癌症化疗期间的应用：临床研究的结果。

在一项研究方案中，研究人员将永磁体形式的静态磁场应用于接受晚期癌症抗肿瘤化疗的参与者，以确定磁场的毒性和安全性。磁铁在抗肿瘤化疗开始前15分钟放置，然后在治疗完成后的0,15和30分钟内保持三个级别。数据显示，总体而言，静态磁场的存在可以安全地应用于接受晚期癌症抗肿瘤化疗的个体，对于3级组（磁铁应用30分钟）的参与者，与匹配的对照组相比，毒性有统计学意义上的显著降低。我们无法确定静电磁场是否对存活有影响。我们的数据表明，对接受晚期癌症抗肿瘤化疗的个体施加静态磁场是安全的，并且可能在某些参数下降低治疗的毒性。应该进行进一步的研究。

期刊介绍： Aims & Scope: Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, publishes peer-reviewed research articles on the biological effects and medical applications of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (from extremely-low frequency to radiofrequency). Topic examples include in vitro and in vivo studies, epidemiological investigation, mechanism and mode of interaction between non-ionizing electromagnetic fields and biological systems. In addition to publishing original articles, the journal also publishes meeting summaries and reports, and reviews on selected topics.
